Barcelona fans are completely baffled as to why Wojciech Szczesny decided to challenge for the ball ahead of Benfica’s second goal of the night.
Despite Alejandro Balde seemingly having the situation under control, the Polish goalkeeper persisted, colliding with the Barcelona left-back in the process.
“That was on Szczesny, it made absolutely no sense for him to come out and put himself in that position. So stupid. First the red card, now this…”
💭 BarcaTimes: “There was no need for Szczesny to come off his line so far.”
💭 Universo 1899: “I hope this is the last time someone says they prefer Szczesny over Inaki Pena. No way, man.”
Hansi Flick had defended the decision to start Szczesny, saying, “His experience and personality are important in games like these.”
