Long-awaited return! Dani Olmo took to the pitch against Bayern Munich
Although Raphinha and the 4 goals scored against Bayern Munich will steal the spotlight, FC Barcelona enjoyed a long-awaited return in the thrashing of the Bavarians. After just over a month on the sidelines, Dani Olmo reappeared at Montjuïc. The player from Egar suffered an injury to the femoral biceps of his right thigh on October 20 and has since worked on his recovery, with his sights set on the moment that took place this Wednesday.
The Barça ’20’ entered the field of play at the Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys in the 76th minute to the detriment of the Brazilian star and, with the match already decided, he barely had any opportunities to leave his mark on the match.
However, his return is great news for the Catalans, since before his physical setback, Olmo had established himself as one of the team’s great figures, scoring three goals in his first three games. Now, he will look to start his streak again next Saturday 26th against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Gavi also saw minutes against Bayern
Another who saw minutes again with Barça in the Champions League was Gavi, whose last appearance in the continental competition took place on November 7, 2023 against Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stage of the last edition. Once he recovered from his cruciate ligament tear, the Andalusian replaced Pedri in the 85th minute, playing 5 minutes that allow him to continue gaining competitive rhythm.
