Flick confirms Szczesny as Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has officially confirmed that Wojciech Szczesny is the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.

Szczesny has been the preferred option in recent weeks, surpassing Inaki Pena, who had been Barcelona’s regular starter after Marc-André ter Stegen’s season-ending knee injury last September.

Speaking ahead of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey quarter-final against Valencia, Flick emphasized that Szczesny’s position as the number-one keeper is now clear.

“Szczesny is our first goalkeeper now, it’s confirmed,” Flick said. “It’s not just about Iñaki or Szczesny, but about the whole team, and we always make decisions that are in the best interest of the team, and that is the approach I want to follow.”

Szczesny made his La Liga debut on January 26 in Barcelona’s dominant 7-1 victory over Valencia. The 34-year-old joined the club last year after leaving Juventus.
