"The return of Dani Olmo could not have come at a better time for Barcelona. After a difficult month on the sidelines, the former RB Leipzig man marked his comeback in style by scoring against Espanyol last weekend. That goal did more than just help the team on the night, it reintroduced Olmo into the conversation ahead of the Spanish Super Cup."
"Even with limited appearances, Olmo's impact this season has been clear. In 18 matches across all competitions, he has already contributed five goals and two assists. Those numbers only tell part of the story, as with Olmo on the pitch, Barcelona gain control in central areas, pose a greater goal threat, and become far more unpredictable in attack. Defences struggle to read the team's next move, and that uncertainty often creates space for others."
Dani Olmo returned from a dislocated shoulder and scored against Espanyol, signaling readiness ahead of the Spanish Super Cup. The injury occurred shortly after his goal in Barcelona's win over Atletico Madrid and had kept him sidelined for several weeks. Hansi Flick considers Olmo the most natural and complete starting attacking midfielder, but is cautious due to prior muscle issues. Strong performances from Fermin Lopez, Raphinha's tactical flexibility, and Gavi's expected return provide rotation options. Olmo's appearances deliver control in central areas, increase goal threat and unpredictability, and create space for teammates, making his comeback a timely boost.
