"I wasn’t sure if I was ready for new challenges. I talked with my family and friends, who made it clear that I’d be foolish not to take this opportunity," Wojciech Szczęsny said about accepting FC Barcelona's offer and returning from "football retirement" after just a month. "I ended my career against her will, so I didn’t want to do it again within a month," the new Barcelona player added.
Wojciech Szczęsny’s immediate family includes, of course, his wife Marina Łuczenko-Szczęsna and their children: six-year-old son Liam and three-month-old daughter Noelia. "We are very happy," the singer said excitedly about her husband's move to FC Barcelona.

They also mentioned how the couple’s love story began, quoting Marina's words: "Wojtek called first. He found me and tried to contact me when I was living in the United States. [...] I love him for his soul, his heart, those wonderful puppy eyes, and his sense of humor. He’s an amazing person with a big heart and intelligence. I could talk about him for longer. He’s my ideal, and I’m happy that our paths in life crossed."
