Tenorio criticizes Spain’s handling of Barcelona after Yamal’s absence

Yamal’s right-knee pain kept him in Barcelona to recover instead of traveling with Spain to Prague for the Czechia match. Journalist Paul Tenorio used the decision to criticize how the Spanish federation handles Barcelona. He argued that the club has broad freedom in cases like this, giving it an advantage, and linked that latitude to what he described as the “excellent” relationship between Joan Laporta and federation president Rafael Louzán. His assessment differs from De la Fuente’s earlier response: the coach rejected claims of special treatment and said the same medical decision would have been made for any player.
