25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

[Sensei]

I hope the fraud carried by MSN in 14/15 stays on the bench when he comes back. Sell him to a Saudi side or something.

 

[Barcaman]

An unexpected hero. Some of those saves look effortless as do those collected balls from crosses and corners. Stegen almost never catches those and just shits his pants.

 

[FC B]

He had the best game since arriving at Barca but tbh he didn't had many high difficulty shots to block in this game.

 

[DonAK]

His save in the first minute was very old school.

A lot of GKs nowadays including our own don't even try to dive there and they use their legs to make that save, or try to at least while often failing.

 

[CatalinR10]

Have no ideea when was the last time we had a keeper with such a performance in the CL

 

[detecotr2001&]

[Horatio]

Wojciech Szczęsny made eight saves against Benfica, setting a record for the most saves by a Barcelona goalkeeper in a single Champions League match without conceding a goal.

One underrated aspect of him is his dominance in set pieces, with Ter and Pena who are midgets by goalkeeper standards we used to be very fragile on corners, with Tek is just waiting for him to claim or block the ball.

 

[Total-Football]

If I was a goal keeper and get outshone by a retired chronic smoker I would think about quitting high level competition and consider MLS.

been pointing itnout for months

so many situations is 0 danger cause of his height. gets effortless to ball

 

[Gnidrologist]

Best performance from a Barca GK in many many years

In at least couple of decades. Valdes was the last time Barca won crucial knockout due to GK heroics and it was almost 20 years ago.
Prepare severance and hearty goodbye for Statue and move on.

 

[KingLeo10]

Monster.

We have 1-2 more CLs if he was our GK since 2014 instead of Stegen

Yeah, which is why it's important that we sign a tall GK for the future that's good at commanding the box.

I'm tired of these smaller GKs that panic or stick to the line.
