Overview
- Barcelona defeated Elche 3-1 at Montjuïc, with the on-loan defender Hector Fort entering as a second-half substitute.
- Fort told DAZN that Flick asked about his recent injury and whether he is happy at Elche, which he described as a caring gesture.
- The 18-year-old left-back joined Elche on loan in the summer after limited minutes at Barcelona and has made four appearances this season.
- Elche goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, also on loan from Barcelona, started and completed the match, later calling the experience of facing his parent club strange.
- Coverage frames Flick’s visible check-in as Barcelona tracking their loanees’ development, though any pathway back to the first team remains media interpretation rather than a club commitment.
