Hansi Flick reportedly 'called out' Lamine Yamal for breaking a Barcelona rule and handed him an unusual punishment.

Lamine Yamal made his professional debut for Barcelona last season, but it was during Euro 2024 earlier this summer that he shot to superstardom.

The teenager - who turned 17 the day before Spain beat England in the final - lit up the tournament with his exciting performances, which returned one goal and four assists.

It would be no exaggeration to say that Yamal ended last season a boy and began the current one a man, one who is one of the hottest young talents in world football.

Rest assured though, new Barca manager Hansi Flick won't let fame go to Yamal's head.

The German coach, who replaced Xavi Hernandez over the summer, is known for being approachable and well-liked among players.

However, the former Bayern Munich and Germany boss is more than happy to lay down the law if and when required.

According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, one senior player experienced Flick's wrath when they arrived late to a morning training session during pre-season because they overslept.

Flick also reportedly had to remind Yamal what was expected of him after the youngster arrived late to a team-talk ahead of training.

Bizarrely, Yamal was punished with a tunnel of the other players hitting him on the back of the head.

Flick has made quite the impact since taking the top job at Barca this summer, with his players looking much sharper and fitter than they did last season.

The Blaugrana are four points clear at the top of La Liga after winning all four of their opening games. Flick's side have beaten Athletic Club, Valencia and Rayo Vallecano 2-1 and Real Valladolid 7-0.

Barca will resume their league campaign after the international break with a Catalonian derby against Girona.
