Flick Drops Rashford for Late Arrival, Alonso Praises Carreras' Impact

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford was dropped by coach Flick for arriving late to training, with Ferran Torres stepping up and scoring twice in the starting lineup against Getafe. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso praised Alvaro Carreras for his impressive performance against Espanyol.

Carreras, a new signing from Benfica, is facing tough competition but has already made an impact. Flick's decision to bench Rashford shows his commitment to high standards and accountability for all players.

The match also saw Raphinha making his presence felt for Barcelona. On the other hand, Alonso acknowledged Carreras' composure and hopes he maintains his starting spot in the upcoming games.
