Barcelona midfield star continues to be a talisman for his national team | OneFootball

The FC Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo was once again the star for the Spanish national team as they won 2-1 over Denmark on Friday. This was a special occasion for the former RB Leipzig star, as this match also marked his fifth anniversary of being a full international with the Spanish team.

During this time, Olmo has played 41 international games, scored 11 goals, and provided 10 assists. Additionally, he won the UEFA Nations League in 2023 and the UEFA EURO last summer.

Now, Mundo Deportivo has highlighted another remarkable aspect of his national team career. The Spanish publication notes that he remains a talisman for his country, as the Iberians have not lost a single match with him on the pitch since their elimination by Morocco at the 2022 World Cup.

Since then, Spain has lost two games, an EURO qualifier against Scotland and a friendly against Colombia, but Dani Olmo was not on the pitch in either of these games.

Furthermore, Barcelona’s midfield star ensured he marked the special occasion with an equally outstanding performance, once again proving to be the leader of this Spanish side against Denmark.

He provided an assist, and once again influenced his side’s game significantly playing between the lines. With this assist, Olmo now has 11 direct goal contributions in 9 games for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team.

With these performances, the Spaniard continues to build on the confidence that he has been showing for some time now. He understands that he is going through a key moment in his career, and is making all the efforts to show that he is one of the best players in the world in his position.

Moving to and excelling at Barcelona was another step towards achieving this purpose, as he could not have proven his abilities without playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
