FC Barcelona started the new season in spectacular style. Hansi Flick's team won all of their league matches so far, defeating Valencia (2-1), Athletic Bilbao (2-1), Rayo Vallecano (2-1) and Real Valladolid (7-0).
Barcelona are the leaders of La Liga, with a four-point lead over Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. Robert Lewandowski has contributed greatly to the team's current situation, scoring four goals and providing an assist in four games.
The Pole is the leader of the league's top scorers with a goal advantage over his club colleague, Raphinha. Lewandowski will have a chance to improve his statistics on Sunday, when Barcelona plays away to Girona (16:15).
For the captain of the Polish national team, this will be a special match. It will be Lewandowski's 100th appearance for Barcelona. And this is exactly what the Spanish media are writing about before the match. “Lewandowski will have at least a few reasons to celebrate before the match with Girona,” “AS” noted.
And he calculated: “Firstly, Barcelona are the league leaders after winning their first four matches. Secondly, Lewandowski is the leader of the top scorers' classification. Thirdly, on Sunday he will play his 100th match for Barcelona after joining the club in the summer of 2022.”
Spaniards delighted with Lewandowski
The journalists continued to rave about our striker's statistics. “The numbers clearly show that Lewandowski scores goals on demand. In 99 appearances so far, he has been involved in 81 goals. He has scored 63 goals and had 18 assists. In his first season, he was the league's top scorer, leading Barcelona to the Spanish championship,” the Spaniards wrote.
“In the league, Lewandowski scored 46 goals in 73 appearances, which gives him an average of 0.63 goals per match. In the Champions League, he added eight goals in 14 matches, which gives an average of 0.57 goals per match. The Pole had two hat-tricks, one in the Champions League against Viktoria Plzen,” they added.
“Since Lewandowski signed a contract with Barcelona, he has played 8,097 minutes, showing that age is no obstacle for him. Injuries have not hindered him either. Lewandowski has only had problems with his back, especially in the lumbar section,” the journalists noted.
“Lewandowski is playing the third of four seasons he has agreed with Barcelona. Another year at the club depends on what he shows this season. But considering how he started this season, it is hard to imagine him not staying at Barcelona for one more year,” they concluded.
