“We Can’t Let Him Leave”: Fans Insist Barcelona Must Keep Christensen After Stellar Display vs Espanyol
By Kingsley Ukpai | 16 May 2025
Barcelona fans are rallying behind Andreas Christensen, urging the club to keep the Danish defender following a standout performance against Espanyol. Despite limited game time this season—only his fifth appearance—Christensen delivered an exceptional display, helping Barça secure a clean sheet in a crucial match.
His stats from the game:
- 3 clearances
- 2 interceptions
- 4 tackles
- Won 4 of 5 aerial duels
- Won 4 of 6 ground duels
- 1 key pass
Given rumors circulating in Spain that Barcelona might offload him in the summer—Christensen has just a year left on his contract—many fans have taken to social media to express their opposition.
One fan on X posted:
“Christensen was unreal against Espanyol. He has everything you’d want in a modern centre-back—speed, composure, intelligence. Selling him would be a huge mistake.”
Another fan emphasized his fit in Hansi Flick’s system:
“Christensen is exactly the kind of centre-back Flick needs. He’s at his peak. With Inigo aging and Araujo underperforming, the Christensen-Cubarsí duo should be the future.”
Comments across Barca fan communities echo similar sentiments, praising his football IQ, passing ability, and calmness under pressure. While some fans acknowledge his injury record as a concern, the general consensus is clear—Christensen must stay.
