"Situations change": Flick hints Szczęsny might start against Benfica

Since joining Barcelona, Wojciech Szczęsny has enjoyed a chance to shine, playing nearly three full matches in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. Despite receiving a straight red card against Real Madrid, head coach Hansi Flick has not ruled out continuing to rely on the Polish goalkeeper.

Details: Speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with Benfica, Flick suggested that Szczęsny could take his place in Barcelona’s starting XI. However, the German coach emphasized that no final decision had been made yet.

Quote: "This is one of the topics we’re discussing. Situations change. We’ve seen what Tek [Szczęsny] did in the Super Cup. I really like how he conducts himself on the pitch, but we’ll see tomorrow.

I consider him one of the best signings we’ve made—not only for how he plays, but for how he supports the team. It’s great to see him sharing his experience with the younger players," Flick said.
