I've read he was annoyed because of the GK coach de la Fuente shouting at him during the match. I think everything else happened because of that.
That said he has a character and it'll grow worse going forward I fear. He's a teenager with an attitude, who was already hyped as a god with 16. We sadly can't everyone have Pedri's calmness.

Those are the situtations he will have to deal better and I believe he will once he matures few years.
Lamine didn't really disrespect his team or Flick even. He acknowledged him, said what's eating him and walked off. It's not a good look but at the same time I'm sure these adults (including Lamine) had it all settled before they left the dressing room. It wasn't even half as bad as Vini's meltdown in clasico from few months ago.
He had amazing game last game but got nothing to show for it, looking forward to see him fired up tonight.

At least he doesn't drink.

No.
Non issue for me. There's a red line he can't cross without consequences, but these little things are largely irrelevant. He didn't do anything yet that can be considered a serious behavior problem needing measures to address and correct.
I'm more annoyed by Raphinha's injury and I'm quite mad about him. At some point, if you are to really become one of the best consistently, a bonafide legend of the club, you need to be smarter than he is.
He really let us down. I can be sympathetic that he is nearly 30 and his elite career basically started at 28-29 and he wants to make up lost time in these years, but that's not the smart way to go at it.

Funnily enough, could be a blessing in disguise. We'll have to be ever so slightly more "defensive" without him.
Slim chance. The man was involved in 7 out of 8 goals scored vs Newcastle. We just can't do without Lamine and Raphinha. All the rest can be replaced better, even Pedri, but these two, no.
Our hope is we're facing Atlético and if we get it done vs AM, Arsenal, two defensive teams, who aren't likely to have a big go at us.

We'll still make it to the semis.

Without Raphinha and if Lamine gets a yellow today we could get smashed next week in Madrid.

I'm always prompt to criticize his behavioral tantrums, but on this occasion, I don't blame him. Not only has de la Fuente (henceforth the Bald fraud) retained his position as GK coach even after ter stegen's exit, his role has apparently been expanded to head of team strategy in some bizarre fashion. His career highlights have been giving us a CL flop GK, acting deranged on the sideline, destroying club's property and now in the news for micromanaging the team's most talented youngster. I'd be livid too if someone started dictating how to perform every individual task at my workplace. The bald fraud needs to go before he ruins Joan garcia, and further unsettles our youngsters.

There's certain pattern with all these bald delafuentes.

He gave it everything, was concerned he might get booked and miss the 2nd leg but it's sad how reliant we are on him without Raphinha.
We are most reliant on Raphinha. Yamal is 2nd. The pressing goes down without Raphinha, the defensive coverage goes down, clutch goals go missing, everything is worse in every phase.
To go from Raphinha to Rashford is absolutely brutal dropdown. Which is actually factual, you trade one of the best players in the world with a United reject who is passed around as a loanee from team to team.
