“Hansi Flick has the last word, and the truth is that Inaki Pena is in spectacular shape” – these were the words you could read in the Catalan “Sport” after the match Borussia Dortmund – FC Barcelona (2:3). The Spanish goalkeeper benched Wojciech Szczęsny, who is doing everything he can to finally make his debut.
Wojciech Szczęsny showed what he can do. There was a lot of heat under FC Barcelona's entry
On Saturday, the club's profile on X showed a snapshot from training. You can see how the Pole “takes” Fermin Lopez's very biting header from under the crossbar (there was also a dribble on the way). “Wojciech Szczęsny says: nice try,” it was commented. And that was enough to make a noise.
In the comments, fans complimented the 34-year-old. “Great! It's always worth striving to be better. Keep it up”, “he's got these moves”, “not bad” – we read. And that's not all, some even started making specific demands. “Flick, just give him a chance”, “use him in matches”, “play him in La Liga”, “we want 'Tek' to play – he should be able to bring a lot of confidence” – they appeal.
When will Wojciech Szczęsny make his debut for FC Barcelona? The Spanish indicate the deadline
Will the German coach listen to the voices of some fans and choose the Polish goalkeeper? This seems doubtful, as Pena has not made any glaring mistakes so far, and has saved the team many times and should keep his place in the squad for this year's last matches against Leganes (December 15) and Atletico Madrid (December 21).
Wojciech Szczęsny can look forward to the match in the 1/16 final of the King's Cup with UD Barbastro, scheduled for January 4. According to Spanish media, he may make his debut then.
