Szczesny had to pick the ball out of the net three times against Dortmund after Serhou Guirassy's brilliant hat-trick. The former Juventus goalkeeper officially ended his 22-match unbeaten streak since joining Barcelona in January.

Despite conceding goals, Szczesny was rated by the Spanish media as Barcelona's best player in the last match. He made 8 saves in the whole match, 4 times more than his Dortmund colleague Gregor Kobel. Szczesny also had 2 timely interceptions and 3 accurate long balls.

Szczesny's consistent form has helped Barcelona soar in 2025. Coach Hansi Flick is having another headache in choosing Barcelona's number one goalkeeper, as Marc-André ter Stegen has returned to training. The Camp Nou team also wants to extend Szczesny's contract for another year, making the competition for the starting position at Barcelona next season unpredictable.

When asked about competing with Ter Stegen, Szczesny said: "I am here to replace Ter Stegen and help Barcelona. If the club decides to choose him, I will still respect that decision. We have a very good relationship."

Barcelona's sporting director Deco wants to extend Szczesny's contract in a "1+1" format, meaning a one-year extension with the option to stay for another year if certain conditions are met. Extending Szczesny's contract is Barcelona's top priority.

In addition to his professional skills, Szczesny also brings many other values ​​to the club. The former Juventus goalkeeper is considered to bring a positive atmosphere to the dressing room.

Yamal caused a stir again on the day Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid. In the early morning of April 3, Yamal helped Barca defeat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, after a 4-4 draw in the first leg.
