Barcelona delivered a tough defeat to Real Madrid, winning 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Spanish League Clasico last Saturday night. All four goals came in the second half, with Polish star Robert Lewandowski scoring twice within two minutes, bringing his season total to 14.
In the aftermath, German coach Hansi Flick surprised the team’s new signing, informing Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny that he would not start due to the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Pena, who made several crucial saves during the match. Flick expressed to Szczesny, “You won’t be starting after Pena’s impressive display. I’m sorry!”
Szczesny was reportedly disappointed, as he had hoped to start for Barcelona upon returning from retirement, but Pena’s performance seems to have overshadowed his opportunity.
