Finally the opportunity comes. Hansi Flick gave ownership to Szczesny in Barbastro, in the round of 32 tie of the Copa del Rey. The Polish goalkeeper makes his debut as a Barça player in an eleven that is not very supportive, full of stars to avoid surprises. The other main novelty is that of Ronald Araujowho wears the Barça shirt again five months later after receiving a medical discharge.
Flick opts for an eleven made up of: Szczesny, Koundé, Iñigo Martínez, Araujo, Gerard Martín; Eric García, De Jong; Pablo Torre, Pedri, Fermín and Lewandowski.
In it dock The alternatives will be: Peña, Astralaga, Cubarsi, Balde, Gavi, Ansu Fati, Casadó, Sergi Domínguez and Toni Fernández. The following are out due to injury: Ter Stegen, Lamine, Héctor Fort, Christensen and Bernal.
Neither Dani Olmo nor Pau Víctor will be in Barbastro, as until their registrations are resolved they will not be able to play with the Barça team and will follow the matches from their respective homes.
