Wojciech Szczęsny with a new role in Barcelona. Pole will cope with the challenge?
What will be the future of RL9, it will probably turn out to be in the next few months. Lewandowski is fighting for a new contract in Barcelona, and recently another Polish footballer – Wojciech Szczęsny was parked with the club. The goalkeeper signed the contract by the end of the 2026/27 season.
Interestingly, Szczęsny is to fulfill a double role in the ranks of the team led by coach Hansi Flick. On the one hand, it will be a direct facilities for Joan’s Espanyol downloaded from Espanyol. On the other hand, Szczęsny will also be support for his younger colleague in working together in training and further development of this great talent – with a scale that goes beyond the Spanish league.
Joan Garcia has papers for really big playing and the role of “one” in the ranks of Barca for many years. Currently, the Spaniard is only 24 years old.
The division of goalkeeper’s duties in Barcelona was described in more detail by Radio RAC1 journalist Alex Pintanel.
“The roles are clearly defined. Joan Garcia will be a basic goalkeeper, and Wojciech Szczęsny is his substitute and he will be playing only in the King’s Cup (…) The Pole has experience with a rich career and Barca, this is his advantage. Maybe I wouldn’t say that he is his teacher, but he will help him” – admitted a journalist in an interview for “Przegląd Sportowy” and Onet.
Szczęsny and Lewandowski during the 2024/25 season created a Polish duo in the ranks of the Duma of Catalonia. The goalkeeper appeared in Barcelona because of the injury, which was suffered by the then team’s first goalkeeper-Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. Ultimately, the German even after recovering, he did not jump in the hierarchy of Szczęsny. The Pole in the decisive part of the past campaign was a “one” between Barca’s posts.
