Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has entertained with another amusing moment at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, showing off his shooting ability and sense of humour while the majority of Hansi Flick’s squad are away on international duty.
It is to be noted that as many as 13 Barcelona players have joined their respective national teams for the final international break of 2026, leaving the remaining members of the squad to continue training in Catalonia.
On that note, Szczesny has made the most of the quieter sessions, publishing a video on his official social media accounts in which he temporarily swaps his goalkeeper gloves for a striker’s responsibilities.
Szczesny showcases his finishing ability at Barcelona training
In the video shared through his official social media channels, Szczesny can be seen controlling the ball before allowing it to bounce and striking a powerful volley towards goal.
The goalkeeper successfully finds the net before showing off another trick, recreating a backheel-style finish.
He accompanied the footage with a humorous message: “Waiting for my turn as a number 9.”
Szczesny also joked about his responsibilities while his teammates represent their countries, writing: “Holding it down whilst the guys are on international duty.”
Barcelona goalkeeper has become a popular dressing room character
Szczesny’s latest social media activity is consistent with the personality he has displayed since joining Barcelona.

The experienced goalkeeper has regularly attracted attention through his interviews, humorous observations and celebrations.
His importance to the club, however, goes well beyond these entertaining moments.
Although he does not occupy the same central role in Flick’s starting XI as some of Barcelona’s established stars, his experience and personality provide another dimension to the dressing room.
Having previously played for clubs including Arsenal, Roma and Juventus, Szczesny brings considerable experience, and his presence alone feels like a breath of fresh air for his younger teammates.
