Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny stated that he is prepared to accept a backup role to Marc-André ter Stegen if coach Hansi Flick decides to reinstate the German international when he returns from injury. Szczesny, who came out of retirement to join Barça in October, expressed his willingness to compete for playing time but respects the coach's decision regarding the starting position.
Szczesny's tenure at Barcelona has coincided with the team's unbeaten streak of 24 matches, with the Polish goalkeeper yet to experience defeat in his 22 appearances. Despite his contract expiring in the summer, reports suggest he may extend his stay, setting up a potential goalkeeping battle with Ter Stegen for the next season. Szczesny emphasized his focus on performing well in the current season rather than engaging in contract negotiations, emphasizing his desire to contribute to the team's pursuit of multiple trophies.
