Hansi Flick downplays Lamine Yamal reaction after being substituted in Barcelona win

Yamal was replaced by Roony Bardghji in the final minute of the continental clash and appeared to be complaining to himself and did not look happy as he sat on the bench.

The 18-year-old was booked in the 56th minute for a foul and will miss the Barcelona's next Champions League match after an accumulation of yellow cards in the tournament this season

"We changed Lamine with a few minutes to go because he was booked and it was late," Flick said.

"If he was a bit annoyed, then I fully understand and I like it. I was a player too. It's fully acceptable, not a problem."

It was Yamal's cross the led to Jules Kounde's second goal to give Barcelona the come-from-behind win against the German side.

The victory moved Barcelona to 14th place, two points from the eighth spot in the competition's league phase.
