In the matches against UD Barbastro (King’s Cup) and Athletic Bilbao (Spanish Super Cup semi-final), Wojciech Szczęsny kept a clean sheet. In Sunday’s Supercopa de Espana 2025 final – against Real Madrid – he capitulated in the 5th minute. He was surprised by Kylian Mbappe after a counterattack.
However, FC Barcelona quickly made up for the loss, and the Polish goalkeeper was an important link in Hansi Flick’s machine. He played in the forefield and was alert. He “cancelled” Vinicius Junior’s charge outside the penalty area.
In the 24th minute, with the score at 1-1, Szczęsny saved Aurelien Tchouameni’s shot. He parried the ball to the side, preventing Lucas Vazquez from getting a follow-up. In a moment, after Robert Lewandowski’s goal to make it 2-1 for Barcelona, he probably cut Lucas’ pass to Mbappe.

In stoppage time he also averted the danger in his own goal when, after an unfortunate play by Gavi, he was able to be beaten by Rodrygo Goes. Everything was going great for Szczęsny, Barcelona was already leading 5-1…
-Unfortunately, the Pole ended his participation in El Clasico in the 56th minute. Moments earlier, Mbappe fouled outside the penalty area and referee Jesus Gil Manzano – after a VAR analysis – sent him off. FC Barcelona won the final 5-2, but Szczęsny certainly had mixed feelings afterwards.
According to Spanish media reports, the former Juventus goalkeeper will not be able to play in Wednesday’s (January 15) King’s Cup match against Real Betis (more HERE>>).
