Szczęsny declares his love for Barça again: the most beautiful club in his career

The name of Wojciech Szczęsny has become synonymous with joy for FC Barcelona and its fans. And how could it not be? Since the Polish goalkeeper became the full-time '1' for the culés, he has been a true 'talisman' for the azulgrana team, accumulating 19 matches without knowing defeat: 17 wins and two draws. He has been a key player in more than one match, bringing experience and a high level to the goal of the Catalan club.

Moreover, Szczęsny is a charismatic and carefree character, a trait that, while it does not directly influence the sporting aspect, is valuable for maintaining a good atmosphere in the locker room. He has fit in 'like a glove' in the team from the City of Condal, as demonstrated by his great relationship with most of his teammates.

The return leg in the 'semis' against Atlético de Madrid in the Copa del Rey

'Tek', as the 34-year-old goalkeeper is also known, recently gave an interview in which he spoke about various topics related to his current situation at FC Barcelona. In a joking tone, he commented on his feelings after the match against Atlético de Madrid (0-1), in which the rojiblanco attack failed to make a single shot on target in 90 minutes.

"I didn't make any crucial saves today. I had to pretend I was doing something." "Having fun?" the reporter insisted. "Yes, I was just there, in a semifinal," he replied in statements to TVP Sports.

Szczęsny also analyzed in more depth the commitment against 'Cholo' Simeone's team, highlighting Barcelona's ability to manage the match against the opponent's offensive attempts. "We played a good match. Of course, Atlético pressed at the end because they had to score. They sent their players forward, but we were very secure. It was a semifinal and they needed a goal to reach extra time and try to win the tie, it's normal that we sat back a bit. That doesn't mean we didn't want a second and a third goal, you have to suffer a little, but they didn't hit the target once. A professional job," he warned.

'Tek' and his declaration of love for Barça

In turn, Szczęsny praised Barcelona again, the team for which he decided to come out of retirement and which he joined in a complicated context, becoming a positive bet for both the club and himself. 'Tek' did not hesitate to describe this experience as the best of his professional career. "Yes, without a doubt. I can't deny that it is also the most effective team. Yesterday's match was my 19th without losing..." he joked.

Finally, he left open the option for more Polish players to play in the culé team. "Playing in Barcelona is very interesting. I recommend it to all future Polish players. Work hard, maybe one day you'll have an opportunity like this," he concluded.
