Wojciech Szczesny: Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny admitted that playing his first game in FC Barcelona colours was a special moment for him as "he never imagined such a scenario." On Saturday, Szczesny played 90 minutes against UD Barbastro in Copa del Rey as the team coached by Hansi Flick won 4-0.
"The debut was special for me. I feel proud. My brother came from Poland to watch the match from the stands. The rest of the family watched it on TV. At the end of my career, I didn't think I could play for Barcelona," the goalkeeper told Polish media on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old waited three months for his first appearance in the Catalan team. "When I signed the contract, I had already been out of training for three months. I had announced my retirement earlier. I was aware that I needed time. It was even possible that I wouldn't play a single match for the team," the Pole added.
