The situation at FC Barcelona remains tense after the Technical Committee of Referees officially admitted to an erroneous decision that distorted the result of the match against Girona. Meanwhile, coach Hansi Flick, who just celebrated his 61st birthday, has introduced a strict punctuality policy in the dressing room. Media also report increasing pressure on Robert Lewandowski regarding the search for his successor and a serious injury to one of the team's key stars.

Refereeing organizations in Spain confirmed the erroneous awarding of a goal to Girona in the match against Barcelona.

Hansi Flick's strict regulations

The coach introduced a schedule of fines for lateness, reaching thousands of euros for minor player delays.

Season-ending injury for a star

Pressure on Lewandowski

The club is actively monitoring the transfer market to find a successor for the experienced Polish striker.

The atmosphere around FC Barcelona is intensifying following the unprecedented admission by referees of a glaring error. The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) has acknowledged that the second goal for Girona in the clash with Barcelona was scored incorrectly and should not have stood. The Catalan club reacted firmly, condemning the injustice against the team, which has sparked a lively debate in Spain over the effectiveness of the referee support system in critical situations. Despite the confirmed error, the match result will not be changed, deepening the frustration of the Camp Nou club's management. Meanwhile, deep cultural changes are taking place within the team. German coach Hansi Flick, who is currently celebrating his 61st birthday, has implemented a strict system of financial fines aimed at eliminating lateness. Players must face hefty sanctions for every minute of delay before a team meeting or training session. Despite these rigors, the dressing room appears to accept the German's methods, as evidenced by the traditional birthday guard of honor given to the coach. Robert Lewandowski participated in these events, although the Spanish media are increasingly loudly analyzing his decline in scoring efficiency and suggesting that the board is intensively analyzing a list of potential successors to the Pole. The squad situation of the Catalan club is regularly determined by the restrictive salary limits imposed by La Liga, forcing the board to balance between high-profile transfers and promoting academy graduates from La Masia.The squad situation is further complicated by reports of an injury to one of the stars, which is likely to rule them out for the remainder of the current season. In the background of these events, information emerges about the transfer future of other players, including Joao Cancelo, and sudden reports from Madrid regarding Kylian Mbappe's health problems at Real. The Spanish press also noted footage from Paris, which spotted one of Barcelona's players, sparking a new wave of transfer speculation.
