Having come out of retirement to sign a contract with Barça last year , Wojciech Szczęsny played 30 matches in all competitions, notably following Marc-André ter Stegen's injury and Iñaki Peña's inconsistent performances. This season, the 35-year-old Pole was expected to be Joan García 's backup in the Catalan goal. But with García's injury , Szczęsny has played more matches than anticipated, and his performances have raised questions in Spain.
And in an interview with Sportowe Fakty , the goalkeeper's brother stated: "I know that Wojtek prefers to watch his teammates from the bench and intervene if necessary. I always see a spark in his eyes after every good save, and I'm delighted about that because I love watching him play. He already has enough experience; he's played in the most important matches, so it's time to make way for the younger generation. Especially since Joan Garcia is a very talented goalkeeper. Wojtek is always ready, but I think he prefers to be a spectator rather than a player ." A rather unexpected statement, which will undoubtedly cause some unease in Spain.
