Wojciech Szczesny continues to not know what it is to lose a match with Barça

The FC Barcelona has in Wojciech Szczesny its great talisman for 2025. Since his debut in the Cup against Barbastro (0-4), the Polish player has accumulated 15 matches without knowing defeat and 8 games without conceding goals, 4 of them in LaLiga. This Tuesday, the '25' managed to extend his unbeaten streak thanks to the resounding victory of the culés against Benfica (3-1), where he conceded a goal after a close-range header from Otamendi that he managed to touch with his fingers.

The Polish goalkeeper, who was decisive in the first leg with several crucial saves, had a much more comfortable night this March 11. Aside from the goal conceded, which he came close to saving, the goalkeeper was not overly challenged during the match. In the second half, he had a bit more work, although much less than in Lisbon, and he managed to resolve each situation without major issues. His calmness and security are key to the solidity of the Barça defense.

Szczesny, the talisman of Barça

Thus, 'Tek's' unbeaten record with Barça continues for another matchday. In the 15 matches he has played with the blaugrana jersey, the player still does not know defeat, with a record of 13 wins and 2 draws (against Atalanta in the Champions and against Atlético de Madrid in the Copa del Rey), including a full set of victories in LaLiga.

Additionally, Szczesny has kept his goal clean in eight matches this season, four of them in the six 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.

In that duel, the Warsaw native was one of the key players in the team's narrow victory (0-1), making up to 8 miraculous saves to prevent his goal from falling and making it clear that he is more than ready for the big occasions.

📊 Statistics of Wojciech Szczesny in the 2024/25 season

1. Matches: 15
2. Clean sheets: 8
3. Goals conceded: 14
4. Minutes played: 1,316

Thus, the statistics continue to support 'Tek' in a debate that seems increasingly settled. In fact, at Can Barça, they are so satisfied with the goalkeeper's performances that their idea is to offer him a renewal for at least one more season, as they consider he would be the ideal second option for Marc-André ter Stegen once he recovers from his knee injury.

As for Hansi Flick, time has proven him right, as the Polish player seems to have found the consistency he needed to rediscover his best level, and the security he conveys to the team from the back is likely to be key in this decisive stretch of the season.
