Hansi Flick has a chance to win his first trophy with FC Barcelona. On Sunday evening, his team will face Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. Both teams have faced each other once this season – in La Liga. Then Real Madrid was humiliated because it lost in front of its own audience 0:4. Robert Lewandowski scored two goals in that match.

Hansi Flick revealed his cards. Wojciech Szczęsny in the starting lineup!
The Spanish media had one big doubt when predicting the FC Barcelona lineup, namely who would play in the midfield next to Marc Casado and Pedri, who is in great shape. Journalists placed their bets on Gavi or Dani Olmo. – In previous matches, when Olmo was healthy, Flick gave him minutes to play. Evidence? 813 minutes against Gavi’s 423. Who will get a chance to play from the first minutes this time? – wrote Agnieszka Piskorz from Sport.pl.
– Gavi was confident and contributed a lot to the team. I think he will play, but I’m still not 100% sure, said Hansi Flick. It is already known that the FC Barcelona coach decided to choose Gavi.
The German coach decided to have Wojciech Szczęsny play in goal again! It wasn’t entirely certain, because some wrote that Inaki Pena might return. The Pole got a chance in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao and did well. Already on Sunday afternoon, journalists from Spain informed that the former Polish representative would be between the posts.
