Iñaki Peña is number one. Hansi Flick named Barcelona's starting goalkeeper for the upcoming matches

After Marc-André ter Stegen's injury, Barcelona faced a goalkeeper dilemma and began searching for a replacement. While their exploration of the free agent market did not yield satisfactory results, and they even approached Wojciech Szczęsny about returning to football, head coach Hansi Flick has made it clear that Iñaki Peña will remain the club's first-choice keeper.

I can also confirm that the plan is for him to start next week against Bayern Munich.

I’m happy with Szczęsny, but there’s no reason to make changes right now," said Hansi Flick, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

Reminder: Since Ter Stegen's injury, Peña has played four full matches, conceding five goals, four of which came in a match against Villarreal. Last season, Peña also filled in for Ter Stegen during his injury, playing in 17 matches from November 2023 to February of this year.
