Wojciech Szczęsny did it again! Poles are admired in Spain
Wojciech Szczęsny has played two matches for FC Barcelona. The fans of the Pride of Catalonia have clearly stated what they think about the form of the Polish goalkeeper.
The former Polish national team goalkeeper had to wait a while, but when he got the chance, he gave a lot of confidence in FC Barcelona’s goal. Wojciech Szczęsny had two clean sheets, coach Hansi Flick’s team won both matches, what more could you want? Apparently, the Pole will settle in for a long time in the goal of the Catalan team.
El Clasico with Wojciech Szczęsny? Barca fans have no doubts!
However, as is the case with coaching decisions, it is possible that Barcelona’s German coach will act contrary to what may be expected. Szczęsny’s rival for Barca’s goalkeeper, Inaka Pena, has missed two consecutive games in a row. The Pole defended both in the Copa del Rey match and in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup. In the latter case, although the Spanish player was originally supposed to be in the starting lineup, Pena was ultimately supposed to be late for the pre-match meeting. Effect? Flick chose Szczęsny.
Barca fans are certainly also looking towards the Pole. The Catalan “Mundo Deportivo” conducted a survey, based on which it can be concluded that Szczęsna has higher ratings among Catalan fans. Although Poles, in their own style, probably added their share in online voting – because it is known that our compatriots are exceptionally active in this type of challenges.
However, what could be expected happened. Szczęsny once again showed great sportsmanship. So he repeated exactly what he had accustomed fans from all over the world to, because it is difficult to write only about Poland. Premier League, Serie A, international appearances at major events, and now Barcelona.
Compilations with the Pole’s best interventions on Barcelona’s official profile? This is no coincidence either. Now all we can do is wait for Hansi Flick’s next personal move.
