Szczesny wins big in gamble with Barcelona

Once again, the Polish goalkeeper lifted the championship trophy in Barcelona's colors this season.

Szczesny contributed to Barcelona's domestic treble this season.

In the early morning of May 16, Szczesny helped Barcelona keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Espanyol, thereby officially winning La Liga 2 rounds early. This is also the third title of the Polish goalkeeper with the Catalan team within 4 months, after the Spanish Super Cup and the King's Cup.

After 15 starts in La Liga, Szczesny has kept eight clean sheets. On social media, fans praised the former Juventus star's performance. One account wrote: "Joining Barca was a wise decision for Szczesny."

Another fan said: "A win-win deal." Another fan commented: "Szczesny's class is still there. He perfectly fills Ter Stegen's role."

Initially, it seemed that Szczesny would only play a backup role to Barcelona's second-choice goalkeeper, Inaki Pena. However, in 2025, the situation completely changed. After a steady performance week after week, Szczesny has firmly established himself as the number one goalkeeper.

“I have not hidden the fact that I have received a two-year extension offer from the club, but I need to discuss it with my family to find the best option for us. I think I need to consider it with my family, with my wife, so I have not made a decision yet,” Szczesny revealed.
