Barcelona achieved their first victory in the Champions League this season against the Swiss team Young Boys with five clean goals to make up for the failure in the first match against Monaco.<\/p>\n
The German coach Hansi Flick is looking to regain the winning rhythm in the Spanish League when he visits Deportivo Alaves in the ninth round of the competition.
\nAccording to information received from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a’s last match in the Champions League with Barcelona was yesterday, as he was not asked to do anything noteworthy in light of his team’s overwhelming superiority over Young Boys.<\/p>\n
From the stands of the Olympic Llu\u00eds Companys stadium in Montju\u00efc, Wojciech Szczesny was watching everything that was happening, before his signature was officially obtained today.
\nWhile Barcelona will continue to rely on Pe\u00f1a until the international break, the club hopes that this will allow Szczesny the opportunity to regain his competitive fitness, so Pe\u00f1a will appear in his last match as a starting goalkeeper against Alaves.<\/p>\n
Szczesny will then take charge of goalkeeping, making his debut against Sevilla, before returning to the starting line-up for the clash with Bayern Munich and the Clasico against Real Madrid, the team\u2019s two most challenging games as Flick has shown little faith in Pe\u00f1a, who has raised doubts about his performances.
\nIt has become clear that I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a does not have the level required to be Barcelona\u2019s first choice, prompting Joan Laporta and Deco to head to the market for Szczesny.<\/p>\n
With the possibility of Pe\u00f1a leaving Barcelona in January open, Laporta and Deco are also looking to add another reliable goalkeeper in the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
