Extends through 2027 Szczesny extended his stay with Barcelona through 2027, the club announced.

Impact Szczesny joined Barcelona after seemingly being prepared to leave the sport, and has now even extended his stay for two more years. He's the backup for Joan Garcia, who just joined Barcelona to take over as the top choice. Szczesny made 15 starts after taking the starting job in January and holding it for the remainder of the season.

15 starts in return to football Szczesny started in all 15 of his appearances this season while notching eight clean sheets, 12 goals allowed and 21 saves in La Liga.

Impact Szczesny was thought to have retired from football at the end of the previous campaign, but would recant that statement in October after joining Barcelona to fill the spot of Marc-Andre ter Stegen. He would then work into a starting role by January, not letting up the spot and remaining the club's starter until the end of the season. He was only on a one-year contract and will likely return to his retirement after the quick stint back in the game, although he still has yet to make a final choice.

Clean sheet to seal the title Szczesny recorded one save and allowed zero goals in Thursday's 2-0 win versus Espanyol. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Allows three against Real Madrid Szczesny made two saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 4-3 victory over Real Madrid.

Impact Szczeny would have a rough start to Sunday's match, giving up an early penalty and goal, followed by a second in the 14th minute. He would then recover, making two saves and letting up one goal the remainder of the match to earn the win. He will have a bit of an easier time out next contest and will look for his eighth clean sheet of the season when facing Espanyol on Thursday.

Concedes four in elimination game Szczesny made three saves and allowed four goals in Tuesday's 4-3 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Even though Szczesny's most recent appearance is not as bad as his previous, which includes several goals conceded without any saves, the latest was far from a needed improvement. He will finish the 2024-25 Champions League with 28 saves, 17 goals conceded and two clean sheets in eight appearances. Barcelona will have a whole summer to work with Marc-Andre ter Stegen or another goalkeeper, leaving Szczesny's first-team status in limbo.

Tough first leg performance Szczesny recorded no saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Inter Milan.

Impact Szcesny only faced three shots on net Wednesday but failed to save any of them, allowing three in the draw. However, to the goalie's benefit, he was unfortunate to see three nearly unsaveable shots. This makes it two UCL appearances since his last clean sheet, with two in seven appearances this season. He will hope in the second leg he can see a bit more fortunate day.
