Football enthusiasts will be tuned in tomorrow, Saturday, at *La Cartuja Stadium* in *Seville*, where one of the most thrilling encounters of the campaign is set to unfold as *Barcelona* clashes with long-time rivals *Real Madrid* in the *Copa del Rey final*. This encounter holds significance not only as the season’s “first title” but also serves as a genuine assessment of *Barcelona’s* capability to contend for a potential treble.

 

In a “controversial statement” that ignited extensive discussion within sports communities, *Barcelona* icon *Andrés Iniesta* issued a clear warning to the German manager, advising against starting the young left-back *Gerard Martín* in the lineup.

 

*Iniesta* labeled *Martín* a “real disaster,” asserting that he lacks the necessary experience to withstand the intense pressure of a match of this magnitude, particularly against an opponent like *Real Madrid*, known for capitalizing on “defensive weaknesses.”

 

The former Spanish star noted that *Real Madrid* would likely focus their pressure on *Barcelona’s* left side and exploit *Martín’s* inexperience, potentially turning that zone into a significant liability in the team’s setup. As a result, *Iniesta* advocated for the use of *Ronald Araújo* in the left-back role, highlighting his stronger defensive capabilities and seasoned presence in critical fixtures.

 

*Iniesta* maintains that *Flick’s* decision on this particular position could prove pivotal in the battle for the trophy, cautioning: “Playing Martín could be the key to Barcelona losing their first title of the season.”
