Wojciech Szczesny Breaks Barcelona’s Body Fat Record: “I Love to Eat”
Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has opened up about his eating habits and surprising body statistics during his time at the club.
“I have a huge love for food,” Szczesny admitted. “Even though I try to follow my dietary plan, I still ended up breaking Barcelona’s record for body fat percentage.”
The Polish international shared a humorous moment with teammate Robert Lewandowski, recalling how Lewandowski once joked at the national team dressing room: “How did Szczesny make a career with a body like that?”
Szczesny also reflected on advice from former Polish coach Czeslaw Michniewicz, himself a goalkeeper: “Being a goalkeeper is like playing chess. You use your hands, but really, it’s all about using your head. So when people tell me to hit the gym, I say, ‘It’s chess, not just strength.’”
In addition to his insights on fitness, Szczesny previously revealed that he played his first season at Barcelona without a salary, highlighting his dedication to the club.
