Saturday evening was bittersweet for Robert Lewandowski. Although the Pole scored a goal, his team only drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo. It is worth mentioning the style in which he did it. Until the 82nd minute, everything was going according to FC Barcelona's wishes. Then Marc Casado saw a second yellow card and, consequently, a red card. Hansi Flick's players couldn't cope with the weakened game, their play fell apart and they conceded two goals in just two minutes. Thus, they shared the points with their rivals. Despite everything, our compatriot could have reasons to be satisfied.
These statistics of Lewandowski are stunning. Mbappe and Vinicius can learn from him
Lewandowski's Saturday goal was his 15th goal in La Liga this season. “Impeccable. Scoring goals is his mission and he scores them”, “He still hits everything he gets” – the Spanish media complimented him, giving him decent marks.
Thanks to the next goal, the Pole strengthened his lead in the La Liga scorers' classification, but not only that. One of the statistics especially shows how strong Lewandowski is this season and he is second to none. What exactly are we talking about?
The Pole has more goals in the Spanish league than two great stars of Real Madrid combined. We are talking about Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. The Brazilian has eight goals and his teammate six, giving a total of 14 goals. Lewandowski scored one more goal alone.
There is no doubt that before the season, few people believed in such statistics. Many people have already written Lewandowski off from great football, claiming that he is unable to return to his best years. The Pole showed them that they were wrong.
Such a difference in the goals of the Barcelona player and the Real stars is also, to some extent, the result of the poor form of Mbappe himself, who before the season was considered a favorite for the award for the best scorer in La Liga. However, the acclimatization at Real Madrid is not going as expected by the player himself, his colleagues or the members of the Madrid team. Additionally, it was recently reported that the Frenchman was struggling with mental problems.
