Wojciech Szczesny is a guarantee for Barça this 2025. Against Leganés (0-1), the Polish player was once again key with a great save and has now gone 22 games unbeaten
FC Barcelona added three golden points in their visit to Leganés (0-1), once again, thanks to Wojciech Szczesny. The Polish player achieved his fifth clean sheet in LaLiga and the eleventh of the season in 22 games in all competitions in which Barça has not yet been defeated. In Butarque, he was chosen as MVP of the match after completing another outstanding performance, with a save and eleven balls recovered.
In the 12th minute, Altimira was very close to putting the locals ahead after a great individual play where he beat Iñigo Martínez. The '2' of Lega stood before Szczesny, but the Polish player used his reflexes to pull out a miraculous hand, thanks to a quick narrowing that prevented the fall of his goal. The locals had other very clear chances in the match, but the interventions of Raphinha (before the break) and Iñigo Martínez (in the 90+1) gave the team a hand to avoid another setback.
Szczesny and Barça, unbeatable this 2025
In the 90 minutes, 'Tek' completed 20 of 23 passes (87%), without errors in the exit and always attentive to cut off the rival crosses. The '25' had also not conceded goals on Wednesday against Dortmund (4-0) and, with him on the field, Barça has 19 wins and 3 draws this 2025. Atalanta (2-2 in Champions League), Atlético (4-4 in Copa) and Betis (1-1 in Liga) have been the only rivals capable of taking points from the Blaugrana team with the 34-year-old goalkeeper in goal.
In the League, Saturday was Szczesny's tenth appearance, adding 6 clean sheets and 6 goals conceded. In the Champions League, his balance so far is 2 clean sheets in 5 matches in which he conceded 7 goals. In the Cup, he only allowed goals against Atlético in the first leg of the 'semis', with which he has 4 goals conceded in the same number of appearances and 3 clean sheets. Adding his other 2 matches in the Spanish Super Cup, the Warsaw native reaches 22 games unbeaten, with 18 goals against and 12 duels without conceding.
