Hansi Flick decides on the goalkeeper of Barcelona for the final of the Spanish Supercup

One of the big decisions that Hansi Flick will have to make for the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday concerns the situation of Barcelona's goals. Inaki Pena has been the undisputed starter in recent months, but back-to-back clean sheets for Wojciech Szczesny have seen him stake his claim for the Superclasico.

Pena was supposed to start against Athletic Club in Wednesday's semi-final, but after he was late to a team session, Flick punished him by leaving him on the bench in Jeddah, giving Szczesny the opportunity – and he caught with both hands.

Flick declined to be drawn on the matter publiclybut second MDit is practically decided that Szczesny will remain as the starter.

Szczesny's big-game experience could be another reason Szczesny will be selected, although the main explanation is that Flick has been convinced by the Polish veteran in the last two games, and especially with his performance against Athletic. It remains to be seen if this is a decision that is vindicated Barcelona.
