"Andreas Christensen proved to be the hero for FC Barcelona on Tuesday night as they secured a 2-0 win over CD Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey Round of 32. With the hosts managing to keep the La Liga champions at bay for 70 minutes, it was Christensen who came up clutch, breaking the deadlock with a headed goal to put Barça in the lead. A late goal from Marcus Rashford then secured the result for good."
"Having stood out for Barcelona against Guadalajara, Christensen is clear on the topic of his future - he does not want to leave the club in the summer, reports SPORT. At 29 years of age, his contract with Barcelona expires on 30 June 2026, and his aim is to prove that he can continue at the club despite the limited number of minutes he has played. Christensen is one of the least-used players in the squad, with a total of 515 minutes across all competitions."
"The conversion of Gerard Martin into a centre-back has worked against him, as he has been unable to capitalise on the space created by Ronald Araujo's absence and Eric Garcia's new role as a midfielder. As such, the Dane approached the Copa del Rey clash with maximum intensity and was one of the team's standout performers. He was well-positioned defensively, pushed the team forward in the press and, to cap it all, scored an important goal."
Andreas Christensen scored a headed goal to open the scoring as Barcelona defeated CD Guadalajara 2-0 in the Copa del Rey Round of 32. He played with intensity, defended well, pressed forward and delivered one of the team's standout performances. Christensen, 29, has played just 515 minutes across all competitions and his contract runs until 30 June 2026. He does not want to leave Barcelona and is prepared to fight for a renewal by convincing Hansi Flick and Deco through improved opportunities and continued strong performances. Interest from Saudi Arabia exists, but Spain and Italy would be preferred destinations if he departs.
