Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny takes over Barcelona's net for today's Montjuïc Stadium fixture after Juan Garcia suffered a knee problem during the Real Oviedo encounter. The veteran keeper ended his retirement in October when Marc-André ter Stegen went down injured. Barcelona extended Szczęsny's deal through 2027 after his impressive campaign. His stellar performance helped secure the club's confidence in his abilities.
Last season saw Szczęsny feature in 30 contests with 24 victories for an 80 percent win rate. The Polish international collected La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup medals during his tenure. He recorded 14 shutouts across various competitions while defending Barcelona's goal. Coach Hans Flick will depend on Szczęsny with ter Stegen sidelined long-term, supported by Kochin and Eder Alir.
