A member of the summer recruitment drive at La Liga giants Barcelona has late this week spoken out on the lack of game time afforded to him in Blaugrana colours to date.
The player in question? Dominik Livaković.

Shot-stopper Livaković was for his part something of a surprise arrival in Catalunya’s capital this past summer. Initially, upon his signing being announced, the expectation was that the 31-year-old would be farmed out on loan for a year, before returning to replace Wojciech Szczęsny as Joan García’s backup.
This, however, ultimately did not prove to be the case. Instead, the call was made for Livaković to stay put in Hansi Flick’s squad.
And he has since been afforded an appearance in just one of Barcelona’s 16 fixtures between La Liga and the Champions League, whilst Joan García was sidelined through injury.
Speaking during an appearance in front of the media whilst on international duty this weekend, the subject of his lack of minutes in Blaugrana colours was therefore put to Livaković himself.

And the former Dinamo Zagreb man was thoroughly professional in his response, assuring:
“It would be ideal if I were playing in goal in every match for Barcelona, but I’m waiting patiently for my chance.”
