Inaki Pena, who started again for Barcelona in the win over Sevilla on Sunday, said he is "very happy" to continue to get playing time and take advantage of the opportunities offered to him by Hansi Flick.
"The first half was spectacular. Scoring three goals was very important and it gave us dosage for what's to come. We have to continue like this and we are there for the coach to give us opportunities," he said.
As for Wojciech Szczesny, who was signed after Marc-Andre ter Stegen's injury, Pena said that as a person, he is spectacular and is a very experienced goalkeeper who has played for many European teams at the Champions League level.
"He's going to help us, he helps us on a day-to-day basis. In terms of competitiveness, we train 100% so that the coach gives us opportunities. He's the one who decides: today, it's my turn, we'll see what happens in the future," he added.
