Barcelona directors upset with Setien for Barca B promotion snub | OneFootball

Barcelona coach Quique Setien has upset many inside the club over his snub for Barca B's failed promotion playoff.

Setien failed to play either Ansu Fati or Riqui Puig in their Champions League tie against Napoli — after the boss blocked the pair from playing for the B side so they could focus on the first team.

Both Fati and Puig were named on the bench for the round of 16 tie but neither made it onto the pitch despite several first team stars being out of action as Barca progressed 4-2 on aggregate.

The under-pressure manager reportedly made a stand of not wanting the duo to play for their second side in the crucial promotion play-off game, reports Marca.

It was a game which they subsequently lost against Sabadell, costing them promotion to the Segunda Division, costing the club £10million through TV revenue.
