As the Spanish Super Cup final nears, Barcelona’s Dani Olmo can finally relax. With just two days left before the highly anticipated Clasico against Real Madrid, Olmo’s emotional rollercoaster took a positive turn after the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) granted him a provisional license to play during Barcelona’s semi-final victory over Athletic Club.
The “Olmo case” had been a major point of controversy in Spanish football, with Olmo waiting anxiously for a resolution. During Barcelona’s team dinner at the Myazu restaurant in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, MARCA spoke with the player, and when asked about his mindset, Olmo responded with a smile, saying, “All good, all good.”
Barcelona’s squad took advantage of their day off to relax and bond as a team, enjoying a laid-back evening without the coaching staff. The players mingled with Saudi fans who gathered at the restaurant, eager for photos and autographs. Olmo was a particular fan favorite, attracting a large crowd of admirers.
Sunday’s final presents Barcelona with the opportunity to secure their first title under coach Hansi Flick. The German manager has already made a significant impact, guiding the team to a 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in La Liga earlier this season, as well as another win during pre-season. Following their hard-fought victory against Athletic, Barcelona enters their second official Clasico under Flick with confidence and momentum.
