Barcelona is preparing to compete against Seville in their MD23 lover in La Liga, knowing that a victory would see them lowered the gap in the title race to two points. The Catalans have made an excellent start until 2025, and the idea will be to keep that form in the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan on Sunday evening.
Hansi Flick will not have Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen or Marc Bernal at his disposal due to injury, but apart from that he has the rest of his team available for the trip to Seville. Ansu Fati is a player who is not going.
During his press conference before the game, Flick shed through that there were chances that Fati was called up for the match against Seville, but it appears that he still spent a snub from the 21-year-old attacker. According to Jijantes, it was decided that Fati was omitted from the MatchDay team.
Fati has been omitted from several squadrons since the beginning of 2025 and he is only recorded Benfica, Valencia, Atalanta and Alaves because Dani Olmo was put aside with a muscular injury. And although he was called, he didn't play in one of those games for a single minute.
There is absolutely no doubt that Fati is out of favor in Barcelona, but that is what the club told him during the winter transfer window, and that is why they wanted him to leave the rest of the season on loan. Coincidentally, Sevilla was one of the clubs who wanted him, but he rejected every option to stay in Catalonia, where he believes that he could force his way back in Flick's thoughts.
Fati's situation is very clear and it would be a surprise to see him play every minutes between now and the end of the season. At this stage his career in Barcelona looks completely.
