Robert Lewandowski has been in great form since the beginning of the season and currently has 23 goals and two assists scored in 23 games for FC Barcelona. However, recently the Pole has been censored because he is less effective and less present in the team's game. But Ferran Torres is going through a very good time right now. The Spaniard has scored four goals in his last four appearances. For comparison, Lewandowski has scored only once in the last four matches.
Can Torres permanently threaten Lewandowski in the starting lineup? It seems that it is still too early for this, but everything will ultimately be verified by the pitch and the decisions made by Hansi Flick.

Ferran Torres called Lewandowski a reference point
On the occasion of signing a contract with a new sponsor, Ferran Torres gave an interview to the “Sport” daily. The Spaniard, who started his career as a left winger, was asked if he was starting to feel more and more like a striker.
– I believe that the more positions you can play, the better. It's true that I feel very comfortable as a “9” and I'm doing well in this position. In the future, I see myself more and more as a center forward, said Torres and then mentioned Robert Lewandowski.
– It is very important for me to observe Robert Lewandowski, who has been a point of reference for the last 15 years. I try to be like a sponge and learn from him, do what he does and acquire similar qualities, added the Spaniard, complimenting his 36-year-old teammate.
It is possible that both Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres will start the next league match against Atletico Madrid from the first minute. All this because of the injury of Lamine Yamal, who will not play against Diego Simeone's team. Catalan media reported that Hansi Flick is considering selecting Torres or Fermin Lopez to replace the 17-year-old.
The FC Barcelona – Atletico Madrid match will be played on Saturday, December 21 at 9:00 p.m. We invite you to follow the text coverage of this meeting on Sport.pl and in our Sport.pl LIVE mobile application.
