‘A lot has changed for me’ – Barcelona manager Hansi Flick on goalkeeping battle

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has shifted his stance on the club's goalkeeping situation following Marc-Andre ter Stegen's absence.

While Inaki Pena had been the undisputed number one, Flick has opened the door for Wojciech Szczesny to challenge for the spot after his strong performances in recent games against Barbastro, Athletic Club, and Real Madrid.

Flick praised Szczesny's mentality and contributions to the team, while also acknowledging Pena's resilience despite a difficult start in some matches.

He has expressed no immediate plans regarding his own future, stating he will assess his position at the end of the season.

His comments suggest a growing competition between Szczesny and Pena for the starting goalkeeper role.
