Flick weighs in on Barcelona's goalkeeper situation in his usual style
With Wojciech Szczęsny's arrival at Barcelona, the veteran Polish goalkeeper has gotten his chance, featuring in two matches—one as a result of Iñaki Peña's punishment. Szczęsny kept clean sheets in both games, further intensifying the selection dilemma for head coach Hansi Flick, who addressed the issue himself.
Details: Ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid, Flick was asked who would start in goal for the Blaugrana in El Clásico. True to his style, the German tactfully avoided giving a direct answer.
Quote: "You know, I never discuss the starting eleven, and I won’t start now. We have a good match ahead, and Iñaki had a fantastic first half (of the season). Spain has a different mentality," Flick said during the press conference.
