"Back to his deadly best? On Sunday, Olmo found the back of the net as Barcelona beat Real Oviedo 3-0 in La Liga, opening the scoring early in the second half after having had a quiet first period. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder followed it up with an assist, setting Lamine Yamal up for the third goal. As highlighted by MARCA, Olmo has now scored six goals in the last nine matches he has played, showing signs of rediscovering his best form."
"The 2025/26 season has not been an easy one for Dani Olmo, for injuries have prevented him from firmly establishing himself in Hansi Flick's gala XI at Barcelona. In fact, Fermin Lopez, as things stand, appears to be the preferred starter in the No. 10 position, having already racked up a tally of ten goals and ten assists each across all competitions."
"The run started with a brace in the La Liga game against Alaves back in late November, following which he found the back of the net against Atletico Madrid - a game in which he also suffered a shoulder dislocation. He returned to action against Espanyol in Barcelona's first game of 2026 and marked his comeback with a goal, opening the scoring at the RCDE Stadium."
