Hansi Flick confirms Dani Olmo to start in Spanish Supercup final

Barcelona Ready for Spanish Super Cup Final with Dani Olmo and Pau Victor

Barcelona is gearing up for the Spanish Super Cup final with good news on the injury front. Dani Olmo and Pau Victor have been cleared to play after a precautionary measure earlier this week. However, their inclusion in the starting lineup against Real Madrid is still uncertain.

Dani Olmo’s Potential Role in the Final

While Dani Olmo could potentially feature in the starting lineup, coach Hansi Flick hinted that Gavi might retain his place after an impressive performance against Athletic Club in the semi-final. Flick praised Gavi’s versatility and stated that the decision on the lineup is not yet finalized.

“Gavi performed exceptionally well in the last match, bringing different elements to the team. He has the experience and ability to contribute in various ways. While I lean towards Gavi playing, the final decision is not set in stone,” said Flick.

Goalkeeping Debate Ahead of Superclasico

Another area of focus for Flick is the goalkeeping situation, with Wojciech Szczesny starting in the previous match due to Inaki Pena’s disciplinary issue. Flick emphasized the importance of competition within the team and hinted at a potential change in the goalkeeping lineup for the final.

“I refrain from discussing the starting eleven, but we have quality options in goal. Inaki had a strong first half of the season, and we need to consider all factors before making a decision. These are special games, and we must be prepared for any scenario,” Flick added.

As Barcelona prepares to face Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, the team’s depth and tactical decisions will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the highly anticipated match.
