Watch moment Barcelona boss Hansi Flick gives 16-year-old substitute serious death stare after cheeky act
THIS is the hilarious moment Barcelona boss Hansi Flick gave 16-year-old Toni Fernandez a death stare.
It came after the teenage substitute was caught red-handed before Barca thrashed Villarreal 5-1 in LaLiga.
Former Leeds man Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski notched a brace each, with 21-year-old Pablo Torre finishing things off.
The win leaves Flick’s side top of LaLiga with six wins from six.
However, another talking point from Barca’s away triumph occurred in the technical area.
After the young Fernandez was on the receiving end of a fierce death stare from his manager.
It came after the 16-year-old star was caught climbing the substitute chairs on the bench to avoid going the long way round.
In so doing, he accidentally left boot marks in the blue away bench – including on Flick’s own seat.
Walking out slightly after and catching the end of his mischievous act, Flick eyeballed Fernandez as he came round.
The teenager was caught off guard, first looking down to see the mark he’d left before shaking his head refusing to accept responsibility, with a cheeky grin.

His team-mates erupted in giggles as Flick pointed at Fernandez to ask him if he was the culprit.
The German manager then wiped his seat before asking Fernandez to lift his boot up for him to inspect.
The first scary-turned-heartwarming encounter comes as Flick called Fernandez and a host of other teenagers up to the first team.
And one of those laughing on the bench was Toni’s own 16-year-old cousin Guille Fernandez.
The pair, who signed new deals this summer, were unused subs on Sunday.
Flick has not been shy about looking at La Masia for options to replace his injured stars as Dani Olmo is out for month with a hamstring issue.
He called up the cousins, and academy standouts, for Thursday’s 2-1 defeat in Monaco.
It came a week after Toni scored a stunning goal for Barcelona‘s youth side against Athletic Bilbao.
