“Wojciech Szczęsny is still invincible in the colors of Barcelona. Last Saturday, Hansi Flick's team won 1-0 with Leganes after the suicide goal Jorge Saenz. This way Barcelona maintains a four -point advantage over Real Madrid. For Szczęsny it was the 22nd match without a failure, which makes the Pole already overtake Albert Celades in the historical classification – the Spaniard did not lose 21 matches in the 1995/96 season ” – Aleksander Bernard wrote journalist Sport.pl.
Barcelona resembles an important match of Szczęsny. He was sitting on the bench for the last time
The Polish goalkeeper will face the chance to screw his result of matches without defeat on Tuesday. Then FC Barcelona will play a rematch meeting 1/4 of the final Champions League with Borussia Dortmund. It will be a sentimental evening for Szczęsny.
The BVB stadium is a unique place for a Pole. “Westfalenstadion is a place where the Polish goalkeeper retired … Although he eventually changed his decision,” the official website of FC Barcelona wrote, recalling “the last” match in Szczęsny's career.
“Life is sometimes very strange. And Wojciech Szczęsny knows it better than anyone else. It is at Westfalenstadion in Dortmund that he said goodbye to professional football. On Wednesday he returns there, but as a professional goalkeeper and the quarter -finals of the Champions League!” – we read.
What meeting are we talking about? Of course, about the group phase match Euro 2024, in which Poland drew with France 1: 1. On June 25 last year Szczęsny for the last time – as it seemed at the time – sat on the bench and watched his team's game. Łukasz Skorupski stood between the posts and was even elected MVP of the match.
Szczęsny officially ended his career a few months later, but he remained in retirement soon. FC Barcelona, as a result of an March-Andre Ter Stegen injury, persuaded him to take gloves from the shelf and resume his career.
“It was a great decision for anyone interested. In 22 matches he did not lose even once! And as if that was not enough, Szczęsny is now returning to Dortmund. Exactly where he originally said goodbye to football,” writes fcbarcelona.com.
The match of Borussia Dortmund with FC Barcelona will take place on Tuesday, April 15 at 21:00. We invite you to follow this meeting at Sport.pl and in the mobile application.
