BARCELONA, Spain — Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed he has replaced dropping players with "huge" fines in the event they arrive late on match days.
Raphinha and Marcus Rashford were among the high profile names to be left on the bench earlier this season as Flick stuck to a strict policy on punctuality.

‘It was stressful’ – Hansi Flick explains why he changed Barcelona rule for players arriving late
Hansi Flick has revealed why he has stopped benching players for being late at Barcelona and is issuing fines instead.
Pedri and Ferran Torres let slip that Flick had softened his stance in an interview on Spanish television this week, with it being claimed players must pay around €40,000 if they are 10 minutes late.
Flick was asked about the situation at his pre-match press conference and revealed the reason for the change.
“Before, it was stressful because I’d look at the clock when there were 60 seconds left and think, ‘Let’s see when they’ll arrive’,” he said.
“It’s something I don’t like because it’s also pressure for me, so I decided to talk to the captains and leave the decision up to them. Since then, no one has been late, so I guess we made the right decision.”

Barcelona stars Pedri and Ferran Torres let slip this week that Hansi Flick has softened his stance with his players regarding punctuality.
Flick had previously benched players for arriving late to team meetings, but it now appears that he will issue fines instead.
According to RAC1, there are a few reasons why Flick opted to make the change at Barcelona even though he continues to stress the importance of being on time.
Players were apparently starting to feel “singled out” by being dropped, particularly as the news would often be leaked by media outlets. This is said to have generated “a bit of discomfort” and the feeling in the dressing room was that the sanction was too severe.
