Wojciech Szczesny added another clean sheet in LaLiga, his third in the tournament, extending his undefeated streak to 11 matches with FC Barcelona in the 2024/25 season.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona has in Wojciech Szczesny their talisman for 2025. Since his debut in the Cup against Barbastro (0-4), the Polish goalkeeper has gone 11 matches unbeaten and 6 games without conceding a goal, 3 of them in LaLiga. On Saturday, the '25' kept his goal clean again against Unión Deportiva Las Palmas (0-2), a match where, although he had little work compared to the game against Rayo, he again showed confidence and security between the posts.

The Canarians only had 2 shots on target throughout the match, one of them by Sandro in the 12th minute. Szczesny responded without complications, sending the rebound to the corner. Right after the match started, Bajcetic also tested the reflexes of the experienced goalkeeper, in a play where there was also a shot from McBurnie blocked by the Barça keeper that was disallowed for offside.

After the first quarter of an hour, the match was much calmer for Szczesny. A somewhat risky back pass from Cubarsí and another low shot from Sandro in the second half, which went just wide, were the only scares for the Polish keeper in the rest of a night where Las Palmas was more concerned with fouling than trying to play. The leniency of referee Cordero Vega had a lot to do with the flow of the match.

In total, Wojciech completed 100% of his passes (26) and recovered 6 balls. Additionally, he made a couple of saves and three other interventions as a sweeper. Undoubtedly, the '25' is experiencing his best moment in Barcelona and aims to remain in the Barça goal for the rest of the season in all competitions, as he has played in all four matches he has been available for this year in the Copa del Rey and Champions.
