On a night of infinite lights, Wojciech Szczesny was the great shadow of FC Barcelona<\/a>. The Polish player was facing a golden opportunity to step up and definitively take the starting position from I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a<\/strong> in the Blaugrana goal, as the context was perfect for him to shine. However, he was far from taking advantage of it.<\/p> The goalkeeper already raised doubts on the first goal of Real Madrid<\/strong>, as Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong>‘s shot was not very angled and it felt like, if he had waited a second longer, he could have stopped it. However, this was not the worst mistake of the ’25’ Blaugrana.<\/p> It was the 55th minute when, with the match completely in favor of a Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> that was winning 1-5, Szczesny<\/strong> brought down the ‘9’ Frenchman at the edge of the area, and although Jes\u00fas Gil Manzano did not initially signal the foul<\/a>, the VAR intervention and the subsequent correction by the referee led to the goalkeeper’s expulsion. This direct free kick for Madrid ended in a goal by Rodrygo<\/strong>, by the way, so the ‘blunder’ was total for the Polish player.<\/p> For his part, and despite conceding a goal in his first action of the match, I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a<\/strong> made a brutal save from a shot by Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong> in the final minutes of the match and proved that he is the true owner of the Catalan goal in the absence of Marc-Andr\u00e9 Ter Stegen<\/strong>.
