Four goals and two assists – this is Robert Lewandowski's achievement in the 2024/2025 season. The Polish striker successfully started his third season playing for FC Barcelona. He has already played a total of 100 matches for the Catalan club, in which he scored 63 goals and recorded 19 assists.
Expert's assessment of Robert Lewandowski at FC Barcelona. “The club has been revived”
During his two years in Spain, Robert Lewandowski won two trophies: the championship and the national Super Cup. – First of all, thanks to him, FC Barcelona won the league, and the fans regained their faith in the team. The club was revived and that was thanks to him – assessed Eleven Sports expert Piotr Urban in an interview with WP SportoweFakty, recalling Lewandowski's transfer in the summer of 2022 for 45 million euros from Bayern Munich.
According to Urban, it must be taken into account that Lewandowski is already 36 years old and cannot be expected to always be in the form of his life. – It is indeed behind us. The thing about periods like this is that they do not last forever. 63 goals in a hundred matches? A great achievement, out of this world – he added.
– The drop in form and minor fluctuations compared to previous years do not indicate anything negative. Quite the opposite. I wish everyone to perform just as well even when not in the best form of their lives. Lewandowski pulled FC Barcelona out of the hole, just like Ronaldinho once did. Thanks to him, the club was revived – said Urban. He referred to the situation in which Barcelona won the Spanish championship after six years in 2005, when the legendary Brazilian was playing his second season at the club.
This is what Lewandowski lacks in Barcelona. “He would dot the i's”
Urban rates Lewandowski's time at FC Barcelona as a “five” on the school scale. He pointed out one thing that could be criticized about the striker. “I miss his great performances, like when he scored four goals against Real Madrid while playing for Borussia Dortmund. If he had decided who would advance in an all-important Champions League double-header against a great rival, or scored two or three goals against Real, which would have secured victory and a trophy, Robert would have dotted the i's and i's,” he concluded.
FC Barcelona will play their next match on Thursday, September 19 at 21:00 away against AS Monaco. This will be the first match of Hansi Flick's players in the new edition of the Champions League.
