Szczęsny talks about the Barça players who challenge him the most in training

If there is one particularly colorful character most of the time when making a statement, it is the 34-year-old Polish goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczęsny. The native of Warsaw, who has become the full-time guardian of the blaugrana goal with a reliability in line with one of the best goalkeepers today, has transformed into a true talisman for the club and one of the most beloved figures in the dressing room, precisely, among other things, for that joking and approachable character that made him fit perfectly into the group.

However, 'Tek' has recently entered the scene after, taking advantage of this international break in March, during which he was not called up by Poland after retiring from the international scene following the Euro 2024, he granted an interview to 'ESPN'. Among other things, he explained who the three players from the club's roster have caused him the most problems during training sessions.

From the Joan Gamper Sports City, Szczęsny did not hold back in answering this question, first jokingly pointing out that the club members who have caused him the most problems in training were "Pau Cubarsí, Ronald Araujo, and Iñigo Martínez". However, that would obviously not be his final answer, for which he would have to reflect.

First of all, he ruled out Robert Lewandowski, his compatriot with whom he has a great camaraderie, being one of his best friends in the dressing room and key in his adaptation process to life at FC Barcelona and the Catalan city. He ruled him out for an unusual reason: "I’m not going to say Lewandowski because he would feel too good about it."

"I’m not going to say Lewandowski because he would feel too good about it."

Finally, Szczęsny gave his definitive answer, confessing against all odds an unexpected name: "Lamine Yamal, Pablo Torre, and Dani Olmo". The inclusion of the Cantabrian in this list is surprising, not due to a matter of quality, as it is known that the player from Soto de la Marina possesses technical quality worthy of the best players of his generation, but rather for being one of the players who has struggled the most to get minutes and exposure as a blaugrana.

On the other hand, it can be anticipated, with this statement from Szczęsny, that the Cantabrian trains like the best and gives very good sensations. His only misfortune for not being undisputed at FC Barcelona is the fact of being in a team that has world-class 'tops' in the midfield.
