Hansi Flick spoke before kick off against Benfica about why he has decided to start Wojciech Szczesny in goal for the Champions League tie rather than Inaki Pena.
Szczesny is back in between the sticks for the first time since his red card in the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid.
Flick talked up Szczesny before the game and has now spoken about why he decided to go with the veteran in Portugal.
“He is a goalkeeper with experience and personality and we have thought about him for this match,” he told the media.
“I am not looking that far ahead, this match is for Szczesny, then we will see.
-“Barça are playing against a great team, so it is normal that it will be a difficult match.”
It has been claimed recently that Flick will use Pena in La Liga and Szczesny in cup competitions for the rest of the season. Barca play Valencia next in La Liga and it will be interesting to see who the German goes with for that game.
