FCBarcelona playmaker DaniOlmo scored again after a long scoring drought when the team beat Real Betis 5-2 at La Cartuja, completing their ninth victory of the season. In the interview given to the club's media, Olmo explained that his main objective was to contribute to the victory, without obsessing over his own goal tally.
Olmo commented that, although it had been a while without scoring, “I didn't care.” His focus was on the result of the match and the fact that Barça got the three points. "I'm happy to continue scoring or assisting. I'm happy to continue contributing to the team," he said, stressing that satisfaction comes from the victory and not from his own individual performance.
The player, who has alternated between the midfielder position and the false nine, highlighted that the team is prepared and motivated for the next phase of the competition. He was referring to the two most important matches that are coming up: Tuesday 9:00 p.m. in Paris against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and Sunday 9:00 p.m. at the CampNou against Real Madrid in the Liga Clásico. “We are all happy and we are prepared for the week ahead,” said Olmo, pointing out the importance of maintaining concentration against the Champions League champion and the club's historic rival.
Olmo's goal in the match against Betis was decisive, as Barça needed to secure victory to maintain their unbeaten streak in the league. With the result, the team remains at the top of the table, while Betis is relegated to second position. The playmaker, who has been a key player in the club's offensive, reaffirmed his commitment to collective success, making it clear that his priority is the team's performance in the upcoming decisive matches.
