The extension of Barcelona of Inaki Pena stops on the change of initial role

Hansi Flick faces a potential headache on his goal position in Barcelona in the coming weeks.

Flick once again chose to maintain faith with Wojciech Szczesny among the positions for the UEFA Champions League raffle in the middle of the week with Atalanta.

However, that call occurred as part of a longer sequence, with the Polish veteran who now makes three successive beginnings in national and European action.

After also starting the two games of Barcelona in their victory in the Spanish Super Cup, Flick now seems to be changing their minds about who will cover for Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, as number 1 this season.

Inaki Pena remained as a starter after Szczesny arrived, and Flick publicly said that the Valencian goalkeeper had not given him any reason to make a change, until he made a mistake.

The indication was that Szczesny would play Games from the Champions League and Cup with a service penalty for the League.

However, it is rumored that penalty is angry at a broken promise, despite its solid form as Flick makes his decision about a game by game.

Szczesny has not been particularly solid in the recent gaming streak, admitting a penalty and four goals in Benfica, almost renouncing Spot Kick at home to Valencia and sends two more against Atalanta.

According to the last update of Mundo Deportivo, Pena is upset about the situation, but will fight to recover its place.

The broader optics could change with respect to its contract conversations, if it is not reinstated, with the expectation that its current agreement would be renewed beyond 2026 now less safe.

Szczesny is expected to begin the clash of the Liga League of the weekend with Alaves, and if penalty is turned to face Valencia in the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week, that could confirm Flick’s bold posture change about A player with just a clean sheet in five appearances in the club.
