The Spanish star Dani Olmo begins his second season with Barcelona amidst a state of optimism, given his positive record in previous clubs, where he has always shown remarkable improvement in his second season, whether at Dinamo Zagreb or Leipzig, and at the Catalan club, everyone expects him to replicate the same pattern.

At Dinamo Zagreb, after a first season in which he scored 9 goals, he exploded in the second season 2018/2019, scoring 12 goals and providing 3 assists, becoming a pivotal player in the attack, transitioning from a mere young talent to a key pillar of the team.

At Leipzig, he had a mediocre performance after joining in the winter of 2020, scoring 5 goals and providing one assist during half a season, but in his first full season 2020/2021, his level improved significantly, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists, confirming his status as a crucial player and establishing himself in the ranks of the Spanish national team.

In his first season with Barcelona 2024/2025, Olmo performed well, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists and causing 3 penalties in just 1,932 minutes, being decisive in important moments of La Liga:

Two goals in the first round against Rayo Vallecano.

A brace against Espanyol at the Montjuïc Stadium.

An opening goal against Las Palmas in a complicated match.

The only winning goal against Real Mallorca in round 33.

He contributed to eight valuable points in the team's journey towards the La Liga title, reflecting his significant impact despite limited participation.

Now, Olmo enters his second season with Barcelona, a season where the club and fans expect him to transform from an influential player in specific moments to a true leader on the pitch.

Coach Hans Flick understands the importance of this transformation and trusts that Olmo is capable of delivering a more mature and stable version, and at Barcelona, everyone is eager for the player to confirm this positive pattern he has been accustomed to in his previous stops.
