Robert Lewandowski on Sunday ended a great streak of five matches in a row with at least one goal scored. It is true that his FC Barcelona probably won against Espanyol in the derby 3:1, but this time the Pole was helped by his teammates. He will have a chance to score more on Wednesday. Then he and his team will play against Red Star Belgrade. For the club from the capital of Serbia, the arrival of the Spanish runners-up is a huge celebration, which is why the local press is looking forward to it.
Lewandowski has a competitor. They chose a non-obvious name. “Zagreb's Favorite”
The announcement of this fight was published by the Serbian daily “Kurir”. FC Barcelona was called “probably the best football team in the world right now.” Our striker's name already appeared in the title: “Which one – Lewandowski or Yamal? The goal machine is coming to Belgrade.” This question is also asked further. – It is not known where Vladan Milojevic's team is in greatest danger. Is it from attack leader Robert Lewandowski or wingers Lamin Yamala and Raphinha? – we read.
Paradoxically, according to Serbs, the answer is neither of these options. The daily focuses on Dani Olmo, whom it calls “Zagreb's favorite”. All because he spent several seasons in the Croatian Dinamo Zagreb. Why Olmo? The Spaniard performed brilliantly in the last match against Espanyol. He played only 55 minutes and still managed to score two goals. “Kurir” also draws attention to something else. – Since arriving at Barcelona, he has had terrifying statistics. He scores a goal every 54 minutes. The Spanish representative is a player playing in the top five leagues who needs the least minutes to find the net. And what's more, he scored his five goals after only 13 shots – he argues.
The Serbs noticed this immediately. Lewandowski is even better than Haaland
Olmo was sidelined due to an injury not so long ago, which is why he has had so few appearances. Robert Lewandowski has been playing almost continuously since the beginning of the season. The Serbs also do not forget about him and notice that in the classification in which Olmo leads, he also ranks high. – The Pole is currently sixth. He scored 14 goals in 985 minutes, which is one goal every 70 minutes. Let's add, for example, that Erling Haaland in Manchester City needs 82 minutes to score a goal – it was explained.
We will find out who will be the hero of this confrontation on Wednesday, November 6. The match in Belgrade starts at 9:00 p.m. Lewandowski will be fighting for his fourth goal in this edition of the Champions League. He had previously scored two goals against Young Boys Bern and one against Bayern Munich.
