Wojciech Szczęsny, the Polish goalkeeper, has stunned the football world with his incredible performances for FC Barcelona. The 34-year-old’s impressive displays have led to advanced talks about a contract extension with the Spanish giants. As reported by Catalan sports daily „Sport”, Szczęsny is set to sign a new one-year deal, solidifying his position as one of the top goalkeepers in the world.
The Polish international has silenced critics who doubted his ability to adapt to FC Barcelona’s style of play. Szczęsny’s technique and vision have proven to be a perfect fit for the club’s attacking philosophy. In a recent training session, he stunned his teammates with an incredible piece of skill, showcasing his impressive range of passes and ball control.
A video posted on FC Barcelona’s YouTube channel captured the moment Szczęsny, partnering with Robert Lewandowski, took on Gavi and Marc Casado in a game of siatkonogę (a variation of five-a-side football). The Polish duo emerged victorious, defeating their younger opponents 5:3. Szczęsny’s highlight reel moment came when he expertly volleyed the ball with the outside of his foot, leaving the opposing team bewildered.
Pedri, one of the most promising young players in the world, was left speechless by Szczęsny’s incredible skill. The Spanish midfielder’s reaction was priceless, as he mouthed „wow” in disbelief and applauded the Polish goalkeeper’s feat.
Szczęsny’s detractors, who claimed he wasn’t suited to FC Barcelona’s possession-based style, have been left eating their words. The Polish goalkeeper’s technical ability has proven to be on par with his outfield teammates. As one fan commented under the video, „Wojtek’s skills are unbelievable for a goalkeeper.”
In another match, Lewandowski and Szczęsny narrowly lost to Pedri and Martinez 4:5. However, the Polish striker made headlines for his unorthodox blocking skills, leaving opponents stunned.
