Impeccable match by Dani Olmo in the victory of FC Barcelona against Daegu FC (0-3), within the framework of the last commitment of the 2025 azulgrana preseason tour in Asian territory. Although the Terrassa native left with just one assist in the overwhelming culé triumph, his influence on the game was constant, generating danger frequently and having several clear chances to score.
The man from Egara, who entered in the second half in place of Dro Fernández, signed his most outstanding moment with an assist to Toni Fernández in the fourth goal of the match. A play that he himself orchestrated after receiving a pass from Pedri, which he controlled with quality to then turn and connect immediately with Marcus Rashford. The former Manchester United player, attentive, returned the wall pass, and Dani, with a subtle touch, filtered the ball to Toni Fernández, who finished with an unstoppable crossed left-footed shot.
Dani Olmo, unleashed as Barcelona's playmaker
Beyond his participation in Fernández's goal, Dani Olmo was a constant headache for the South Korean team. In the 59th minute, he unleashed an authentic thunderbolt that would have been the fifth goal of the match if it weren't for the providential hand of Han Tae-Hui, the goalkeeper of Daegu.
Likewise, in the 77th minute, the former RB Leipzig player tried his luck again with another dangerous shot, this time from the right sector, but he once again encountered his nemesis between the posts, who denied him the score with a saving intervention with his left foot. Finally, in the 90th minute, the South Korean goalkeeper frustrated the Spaniard again, this time with an acrobatic save that prevented another clear goal opportunity.
Dani Olmo vs. Daegu: a match in which he was more in tune than in his previous matches of the tour
Olmo left very positive sensations in the closing of the Asian preseason, showing himself as an authentic playmaker. He generated constant connections with his teammates, assisted, distributed, and frequently entered the rival area, looking for that long-awaited goal that, almost, didn't arrive.
In comparison with his performances against Vissel Kobe and FC Seoul (one assist), the man from Egara was much more participative and accurate, leaving the sensation of being increasingly comfortable in the offensive gear of the azulgrana team. Great news for Hansi Flick, understanding that Dani Olmo is once again aiming to be a key piece in the scheme of the German coach for the 2025/26 season.
