Wojciech Szczesny on long-awaited Barca debut: It’s a new experience, which is strange for me
Wojciech Szczesny made his debut for Barcelona in their 4-0 victory over Barbastro in the Copa del Rey Round of 32. This was his first match since joining the club in October. Reflecting on his debut, he said, “It’s a new experience for me, which feels strange after a long career, but I’m excited about it. I look forward to more opportunities and giving my best.”
He continued, “I feel happy and relieved. It’s one of those games where you don’t want to make mistakes on your debut, and you aim to approach it with the right attitude. But I was excited, and the way the players performed made my job much easier.”
Szczesny had little to do in the match against Barbastro, as Barcelona controlled the game for most of the time, but he remained alert when called upon. To secure more playing time over Inaki Pena in the second half of the 2024/25 season, Szczesny will need to prove himself in training
