Hansi Flick Confirms: “Szczęsny Will Start in the Champions League”
Juventus manager Hansi Flick has put an end to the speculation surrounding his choice of goalkeeper for the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash. Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Flick made it clear: “Szczęsny will start in the Champions League. That decision has been made.”
The announcement reinforces the club’s confidence in Wojciech Szczęsny, who has long been the mainstay in goal despite competition from backup options like Mattia Perin and Carlo Pinsoglio. While both alternatives have shown promise, especially in domestic matches and training, Flick is opting for the experience and reliability of the Polish international on Europe’s biggest stage.
“He’s proven his quality many times, and we’re counting on him,” Flick added, signaling strong support for Szczęsny’s role as the first-choice keeper.
