The FC Barcelona has in Wojciech Szczesny its great talisman for 2025. The Polish player has already accumulated 17 matches without knowing defeat and 9 games without conceding goals since his debut against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey. Last Thursday, the '25' managed to extend his unbeaten streak thanks to the convincing victory of the culés against Osasuna (3-0), where he achieved another clean sheet.

'Tek' played a key role in the goal during the culés' victory over the rojillos, although his contribution stood out more in defensive control situations than in spectacular interventions. The goalkeeper kept the defensive line organized, especially when the opponent tried to press after halftime, and showed calm and precision to avoid losing the ball when playing out from the back.

Although he did not make standout saves, his stability contributed to the Barça consolidating its lead in LaLiga with its eighth consecutive victory in the domestic competition.

Szczesny knows no defeat as a culé

With the victory in Montjuïc, Szczesny's unbeaten run with the Barça continues for another match. In the 17 matches he has played with the blaugrana jersey, the player still does not know defeat, with a record of 15 wins and 2 draws (against Atalanta in the Champions League and against Atlético de Madrid in the Copa del Rey), including a full record of victories in LaLiga.

Additionally, Szczesny has kept his goal unbeaten in nine matches this season, five of them in the eight matches he has played in LaLiga. In the Champions League, meanwhile, he has only kept a clean sheet in one match: the first leg of the round of 16 at the Estádio da Luz, while in the Copa del Rey he has done so on two occasions (against Barbastro and Valencia).

As if that weren't enough, next Sunday will mark exactly one year since 'Tek' suffered his last defeat at the club level. It was with the Juventus jersey in a Serie A match at Lazio's ground on March 30, 2024. Since then, the goalkeeper has only lost while playing with the Polish national team, with defeats in both matches of the Eurocup, his last appearances before hanging up his gloves. 

Now, a year later, Szczesny's situation has completely turned around. After coming out of retirement to wear the blaugrana jersey, the Polish player has made it clear that the culé goal is very well protected when he is between the posts. At Can Barça, they are very satisfied with his performances and have set in motion his renewal for another season, as they consider him to be the ideal second choice for Marc-André ter Stegen once he recovers from his knee injury.
