Robert Lewandowski's debut season at Barcelona was excellent. With 23 goals, he became the top scorer of the 2022/23 season. In the following seasons, he scored four goals less and failed to defend crowns. The most goals were scored by Artem Dowbyk and Alexander Sorloth (24 each). The Ukrainian left for Roma in the summer, while the Norwegian moved to Atletico Madrid. Will the Pole regain his primacy among the top scorers? Leagues?
Lewandowski is the only one in the league. Here is the scorer ranking
The start of the new season is successful for him. Lewandowski is the only player to score two goals in the opening round, which is why he is the leader in the scorers' table. Of course, this is only the beginning of an exhausting competition, in which the Pole may not play in all the matches.
He will turn 36 on Wednesday and it is possible that Hansi Flick will want to give him a rest during some of the matches. However, the beginning of the renewed cooperation between the two gentlemen is very successful. Let us recall that Lewandowski and Flick have already worked together in Bayern Munich. In 72 matches with this coach, the Pole scored 85 goals.
Lewandowski is one of two players from last season's top scorers to score a goal, the other being the aforementioned Sorloth. The Norwegian scored against the Villarreal goalkeeper on Monday evening. Jude Bellingham, Ante Budimir, Vinicius Junior and Antoine Griezmann will have to wait until at least the second round for their first goal of the new season.
In the premiere meeting Real Madrid Kylian Mbappe, who will certainly be considered as one of the main candidates to win the La Liga top scorer crown, did not score a goal.
Lewandowski will be looking for more goals on August 24th. In the home match Barcelona will host Athletic.
