With the departure of Inigo Martinez, Pau Koubarsi has become the only confirmed defender in Barcelona, while coach Hans Flick remains hesitant in choosing his partner among Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, and Andreas Christensen.

The Danish player, Andreas Christensen, has succeeded in proving his worth by scoring a stunning goal in his country's 3-0 victory over Greece in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Last season was tough for Christensen due to injuries to his Achilles tendon and right thigh muscle that kept him off the field for more than eight months, and he only participated in six matches. However, with the start of the new season, it seems that Christensen is determined to regain his starting position.

In the recent international match, Christensen carried the ball from midfield and struck a powerful shot with his right foot that found the back of the net, reflecting his strong return. He had scored a similar goal during the friendly Asian tour against FC Seoul.

Christensen's chances of securing a spot in the starting lineup have strengthened, with Eric Garcia's fluctuations between defense and left-back, as Christensen started as a starter in the draw against Rayo Vallecano and continued to gain confidence.
