Arriving this summer at FC Barcelona, Dani Olmo quickly dispelled doubts and won over the supporters. The Spanish striker, recruited after an excellent Euro 2024, put in a string of good performances, despite an injury which kept him away from the field for a month. His return was spectacular with a brace in the Catalan derby against Espanyol, taking his tally to 5 goals in 6 games, with an impressive average of a goal every 57 minutes. His versatility allows him to play in several positions, a valuable asset for coach Hansi Flick in a team where competition is tough.
Olmo, centerpiece of Barça
Olmo thus establishes himself as a centerpiece of the squad and benefits from his ability to position himself well between the lines to make the difference, as evidenced by his effectiveness during the last match. As Barça prepares to face Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League, Olmo could still score points.
