Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) was joking about Wojciech Szczesny, who has a new nest in Barcelona. According to the Tribune on the 14th (Korea time), Ronaldo met Szczesny with his children after the 2024-2025 European Nations League match against Poland in Warsaw, Poland on the 13th. Ronaldo scored his 133rd A-match goal in the match. The match ended with a 3-1 victory for Portugal.
The two, who shared a meal at Juventus, are still close. Ronaldo congratulated Szczesny on his trip to Barcelona. Szczesny wore a Barcelona uniform in a surprise move on the 3rd. It was only two months after his retirement. Barcelona recently lost their main goalkeeper Stefan Ter Stegen. Ter Stegen, who injured his knee in the last Villarreal match, was told he could not play for as many as eight months. Barcelona has a number 2 called Iñaki Peña, but it is too much to play as a starting player.
Barcelona looked for an alternative goalkeeper. As the transfer market was closed, only FA players could be recruited immediately. The answer was one. It was Szczesny. Szczesny has emerged as the top goalkeeper at Juventus through Arsenal and AS Roma. Szczesny, who played as a main player at Juventus for seven seasons, lost his position in the team after Thiago Mota was appointed. I waited for a new team, but when I didn't have a satisfactory offer, I announced my retirement from active duty without regret.
He decided to return to active duty immediately after receiving an offer from Barcelona. Ronaldo joked congratulations when his 'best friend' Szczesny returned to the ground. Tribune revealed their conversation, and when Szczesny said "I'm playing for Barcelona now", Ronaldo said "I know". Then Szczesny says "My son's a big fan of yours" and Ronaldo says "Okay, are you happy?" asked. When Szczesny said "I'm happy," Ronaldo said "To retire and go to a big club, that's great.'
