Wojciech Szczęsny lost his patience. Sensational news about a Pole from Barcelona
Wojciech Szczęsny is still without an official match for FC Barcelona. According to Catalan journalists, the Pole is becoming more and more dissatisfied…
It is worth recalling that Wojciech Szczęsny, after participating in Euro 2024 with the Polish national team, decided to end his sports career. Juventus had no intention of continuing cooperation with the Pole. The goalkeeper said “enough” on his terms and decided to take off his gloves. As it turned out, only for a few weeks.
Wojciech Szczęsny impatient with the lack of debut?
FC Barcelona found itself in a very difficult situation. The injury of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the German goalkeeper of the Pride of Catalonia, became a clear signal of the search for a valuable replacement between the posts. Iñaki Peña was left in reserve. The Spaniard jumped into the “cage” and although few could have predicted this turn of events, he still defends access to Barcelona’s goal.
This is even more surprising, at least in theory, due to the transfer of the aforementioned Szczęsny. The Pole was signed, resigning from retirement and joining a club whose one of the biggest stars is Robert Lewandowski. Szczęsny has been at the club for quite a few weeks now, and he still hasn’t had a chance to make his official debut. Peña is in the form of his life, making virtually no mistakes. Therefore, coach Hansi Flick has no argument in favor of changing his goalkeeper in favor of Szczęsny, who has been training diligently with the team from the capital of Catalonia.
Journalists of the Catalan “El Nacional” report that Poles are becoming less and less satisfied with this state of affairs. Szczęsny is said to be disappointed, and the news is said to come from the “close circle” of the footballer himself. So is the Pole’s patience coming to an end? Needless to say, the Pole probably did not resume his career to spend the last season on the bench, regardless of the prestige of the Catalan club.
Champions League: FC Barcelona – Brest, when and where to watch?
There may be a chance for Szczęsny to make his debut during a Champions League match. On Tuesday (November 26), Barcelona will play at home against Stade Brest. Quite surprisingly, the French team is in the top four of the league stage. They are also one of the six teams that have not lost in this edition of the Champions League.
This could be a big evening for Lewandowski. The Pole has scored 99 goals in the history of Champions League appearances. In his last away appearance against Red Star RL9, he added two goals. The leaders of the all-time Champions League standings are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The Portuguese scored 140 times in 183 matches, while the Argentine has 129 goals in 163 appearances. Pole’s balance sheet? The mentioned 99 goals in 124 matches.
If Flick does not surprise with his goalkeeping, it is possible that the Pole will wait for his debut until the King’s Cup match. Barcelona will play away against Athletic Bilbao. This match is scheduled for… January 25, 2025. The second option is a terrible series or a costly mistake on the account of the Spanish competitor. However, Peña defends solidly, and the Pole’s presence – paradoxically – has a positive impact on the competition and the form of both.
The FC Barcelona – Stade Brest match will take place on Tuesday (i.e. November 26), starting at 9:00 p.m., the broadcast will be available on Canal+ Extra 1. The online match will be shown traditionally on Canal+ online.
