two very strong elements internally in Flick’s eyes?

German coach Hansi Flick shows complete confidence in two key FC Barcelona players: Iñaki Peña, the goalkeeper, and Robert Lewandowski, the star striker. With an impressive run of seven consecutive victories in La Liga, Flick is banking on these two leaders to maintain the winning momentum. Peña, 25, finds himself on the front line after Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury, a role he has played in the past. Despite the pressure, he lived up to expectations perfectly in the match against Getafe, putting in a solid performance. “Iñaki Peña is our number one goalkeeper,” Flick said after the match, before adding: “He is very professional, he has trained hard and we have complete confidence in him.” In the absence of a more experienced replacement goalkeeper, such as former Juventus player Wojciech Szczesny, whose signing is not yet complete, Flick insists: “We don’t feel under pressure and we trust Iñaki. “

Lewandowski, the best in the world!

On the other side of the field, Robert Lewandowski continues to defy criticism linked to his age by multiplying top-flight performances. At 36, the Polish striker proves he is still at the top of his game with seven goals in as many games this season. Flick, who knows Lewandowski well having coached him at Bayern Munich, describes him bluntly: “Lewandowski is the best ‘9’ of the last decade.” This unwavering support from Flick seems to have breathed new life into Lewandowski, who had been the target of criticism before the summer. Thanks to Flick’s tactical adjustments, notably the introduction of a playmaker to free him from the opposing pressure, Lewandowski found his best numbers. His statistics speak for themselves: since his arrival at Barça, he has scored 33 goals, including seven in this new season, proving that he remains essential to the success of the Catalan club.
