Robert Lewandowski has been going through a crisis lately, there is no doubt about it. He scored two goals in the last seven league games, which is why many fans believe that he should not only sit on the bench, but leave altogether. Despite this, the Polish representative has had extremely successful months, as shown by the ranking, which he should soon become the winner of.
Erling Haaland's nightmare. Robert Lewandowski is getting closer to a great achievement
Robert Lewandowski finished last La Liga season with 19 goals, which gave him third place in the Trofeo Pichichi standings. However, the current competition is definitely better for him, because after 18 rounds he has already scored 16 goals and is the leader. He also added a few goals in national cups and Champions League and two in the colors of the Polish national team. Thus, in 2024 he scored a total of 40 goals and this will most likely give him the title of top scorer.
The only one who can stop him is Erling Haaland. But this one seems to be doing everything he can to make sure that doesn't happen. The Norwegian scored 37 goals and has not been able to score for several weeks. And it must be admitted that he has excellent opportunities to do this, such as in Thursday's league match against Everton. In the 53rd minute, he took a penalty kick that could have given Manchester City the lead. But his shot was brilliantly saved by Jordan Pickford. What's more, Pep Guardiola's team eventually drew 1-1 and extended their streak to five matches without a win.
The 24-year-old is still three goals behind Lewandowski and there is less and less evidence that he will be able to beat him. He only has one game left this year, as Manchester City will face Leicester away on Sunday. However, considering his current form, it is difficult to imagine him being as good as the Pole. It cannot be ruled out that another one of our players, Jakub Stolarczyk, will be in the opponents' goal that day, and he will probably do everything to stop the Norwegian.
