Barcelona forwards argument with Xavi cost him a place in the lineup vs Girona
Barca boss not happy with attitude of certain players
Dembele and Raphinha among those to miss out
Barcelona manager Xavi has dropped several forwards from his squad for the match against Girona after they argued with him in training. Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha and Ansu Fati were all left out of the team for the match, with Xavi saying that he was not happy with their attitude. "I'm not going to tolerate any disrespect," Xavi said. "These players need to understand that they are part of a team and they need to behave accordingly." It is not the first time that Xavi has had issues with the behaviour of his players. In January, he dropped Ousmane Dembele from the squad for the match against Real Betis after the forward turned up late to training. Xavi is under pressure to deliver success at Barcelona after a disappointing season last year. The team finished second in La Liga and were knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage. Xavi has been backed in the transfer market this summer, with the club spending over €150 million on new players. However, the team has not yet shown the improvement that many fans were expecting. Barcelona are currently ninth in La Liga, with just two wins from their first six matches. The team also lost their opening match in the Champions League, against Bayern Munich. Xavi will be hoping that his team can turn things around against Girona. However, he will need to get his players to buy into his methods if he is to be successful.
