In 29 matches this season, the Polish goalkeeper conceded 36 goals while keeping 13 clean sheets, proving his worth between the posts. However, the 34-year-old's future with the Catalan giants remains uncertain, despite a two-year contract extension offer, as he weighs family considerations.
In an emotional moment after Sunday's El Clasico, Szczesny broke down in tears following referee Alejandro Hernández's final whistle. He was consoled by teammates, revealing the depth of his connection to the club. "I always try to control my emotions, whether positive or negative," Szczesny said in an interview with Polish media. "But after the whistle, it was tough. My eyes filled with tears. It was a huge moment."
Despite his happiness at Barcelona, where he and his family have settled well, thanks partly to his close friendship with Robert Lewandowski, Szczesny remains undecided about his next move. "They offered me a two-year extension, but I need to decide with my family what's best," he said. "I owe it to my wife and kids to make these choices together.
"My wife makes most of our family decisions, and I'm not ashamed of that. Football decisions are usually mine, but this is different. We came here for a year to chase our dreams and planned to play golf after. I'll decide in the coming weeks, considering logistics like schooling and moving."
Reflecting on Barcelona's season, Szczesny was full of praise for Hansi Flick's side. "This team have played football like I've never seen before," he said. "I don't care what anyone says, they're the best in the world this season. We didn't win everything, but we lacked just a bit of luck and experience, especially in the final moments in Milan."
Szczesny also singled out Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe for praise, despite the forward's knack for scoring against him. "I admire Mbappe's mentality," he said. "Even when things get tough for his team, he never gives up. He's probably the player who's scored the most against me, eight or nine goals in four or five games."
Recent posts on X echo Szczesny's impact, with fans praising his leadership and crucial saves, though some speculate he may return to Poland or retire if he leaves Barcelona. For now, Szczesny is focused on enjoying the moment, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his decision.
