Overview

  • Wojciech Szczesny, Barcelona's interim goalkeeper, has become a fan favorite after stepping in for Marc-André ter Stegen, delivering 13 clean sheets in 25 matches.
  • Szczesny openly discusses his lifelong nicotine addiction, describing it as a personal failure and advising fans and young players to avoid smoking.
  • His candidness has earned him the nickname 'Szczesny fumador' among Barcelona fans, who celebrate both his performances and his authenticity.
  • The Polish goalkeeper's career was previously impacted by his smoking habit, including disciplinary actions during his Arsenal tenure under Arsène Wenger.
  • With ter Stegen returning to training in early April, Szczesny's starting role may soon diminish, though his contributions have cemented his cult status at the club.
