Dani Olmo knows things haven’t gone his way this season. The Barcelona midfielder is aware that his performances have fallen below expectations, but according to reports from SPORT, he is determined to bounce back stronger once club football resumes after the international break.
After an impressive debut campaign, Olmo’s form has dipped noticeably, raising concerns within the Blaugrana camp. Despite retaining his place in Hansi Flick’s starting eleven, his impact has been far from the level that once made him one of Barça’s most influential figures.
Numbers Don’t Lie
With Gavi and Fermin López both sidelined through injury, Olmo has enjoyed consistent minutes in midfield. However, his contribution has been modest, registering just three goal involvements — one goal and two assists — across ten matches in all competitions.
Hansi Flick has continued to trust him in key games, but Olmo has yet to deliver the same consistency and technical sharpness that defined his play last season. His intelligence and reading of the game remain top-tier, but his presence in the final third has been limited in a team still trying to find its rhythm.
Everyone Still Believes in Him
Inside the dressing room, belief in Olmo’s ability remains strong. Teammates and staff know what he brings when he’s at full confidence, and Flick continues to back the Spanish international while demanding more urgency and influence from him.
Sources close to the player insist that Olmo understands the bigger picture. He recognises that Barcelona’s struggles are not only individual but collective, and that he has a key role in helping lift the entire squad’s level. There are no excuses — only a clear intention to work harder and rediscover his best version.
Ready to Step Up
The international break could not come at a better time for Olmo. It offers him a brief reset before an intense stretch of fixtures that could define Barcelona’s season. The midfielder wants to return sharper, stronger, and ready to lead by example.
After a tough period marked by inconsistency and injuries, Dani Olmo’s focus is simple: regain his spark, help Barcelona rediscover their identity, and prove that he still belongs among the team’s most decisive players.
