FC Barcelona detained in the Champions League! Szczęsny’s holiday, “left” problem

The FC Barcelona match with Atalanta promised to be very interesting. In the capital of Catalonia, two teams met, showing effective football pleasant for the eye this season. However, as it turned out, contrary to the predictions, the first 45 minutes ended in … a goalless draw.

However, the decoration was to play Wojciech Szczęsny, who quickly attracted attention in social media. The Pole showed great calmness in a situation that simply required it.

It is worth adding that in the match with Atalanta Polski’s goalkeeper played for the 70th time in his career in the Champions League. A round, pleasant jubilee for Szczęsny, though not decorated with a performance with a clean account.

FC Barcelona – Atalanta. Shooting show without the participation of Robert Lewandowski

Before the meeting, it was known that it was more Atalant than Barcelona, ​​looking at the league phase table. Barca ex officio, however, plays in their matches for victory, so the hosts tried to play their rival in Serie A in various ways.

The hosts went to the lead twice. Shooting for Barca was started by Lamine Yamal, already in the 47th minute of the meeting.

However, Atalanta managed to answer with a blow after hitting Ederson in the 67th minute. A shot that Szczęsny could not defend. It is difficult to blame a Pole. Interestingly, a minute later he left the field, among others Robert Lewandowski. The best Sagittarius LM did not manage to score his jubilee, tenth goal in the competition. After the Pole’s expression, it could be concluded that he would still play against Atalanta. But no, not that day. Let us add that Lewandowski wasted a great situation in the second half, losing control of the ball almost in an ideal situation.

Colleagues RL9 with Szczęsny in the goal came out for the second time. This time Captain Ronald Araujo scored the goal. It is worth adding that with both goals for the assistant hosts he scored Raphinha.

Atalanta, however, responded again. The guests deserved to be equal and scored by Mario Passail. The Croatian stood face with Szczęsny and it is difficult to blame the goalkeeper again. Although the Pole got the ball between his legs, but from a very close range. It was a successful finalization on the opponent’s side.

More goals in the capital of Catalonia were no longer watched. Barcelona finally took a high, second place in the league phase. Liverpool turned out to be the best, although the English team in the last series of games sensationally lost 2: 3 in the Dutch PSV.

Interestingly, Aston Villa and Lille were also in the top eight of LM. A point to happiness and avoiding the play-off phase ran out of Atalanta. This includes such powers as: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, or saving themselves in the last round before falling off-Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

It promises to be a very interesting continuation of the games.

Hansi Flick bet on Wojciech Szczęsny in the FC Barcelona goal

We have informed about the choice of a German trainer in recent days. Barcelona’s coach decided that it was Szczęsny, not Inaki Pena would defend his team’s goals. There is nothing to hide, for the Barca trainer it was a difficult decision.

– We never lost to Szczęsny at the goal. For now, he has two wins. For Peni, this is not the best situation, but this is football. Decisions must be made. We are professionals and this is our business (…) Wojtek will play in the next matches. Both are great goalkeepers. We make decisions that are sometimes difficult, but that’s my job. We also look which player gives the team the strength we need – he assessed after a high, weekend win of Barcelona in Laliga with Valencia (7: 1) coach Flick.

Szczęsny went to Barcelona, ​​returning from … a pension he decided not to get along in the context of the future with Juventus. The Pole was not in the plans of the new club coach from Turin, so in the summer of 2024 he decided to hang shoes on the stake.

The proposal from Barcelona, ​​however, was the one from the genre that is impossible to reject for Szczęsny. Thus, “Szczena” joined Robert Lewandowski in one of the most famous clubs in the history of club football.
