Robert Lewandowski in the match against Real Sociedad was not the main character. Despite this, his only goal was scored by winger Ousmane Dembele with a powerful shot from a tight angle.
Forgot about Lewandowski. The Sociedad coach praised others
One weaker Lewandowski match does not prove anything yet, but reading between the lines, it can be considered that even the coach of rivals noted it. Imanol Alguacil complimented almost all of FC Barcelona’s attacking players after the match. “Barcelona are having a great moment right now. He has players like Frenkie de Jong, Dembele, Gavi and Pedri. They’re all in great shape right now,” he said. What is meaningful, he did not mention only Robert Lewandowski.
The Pole was definitely more effective in the previous round of these games. He had scored twice against Ceuta the week before. Due to the suspension, he was unable to feature in the last league match against Getafe. For the same reason, he will also be missing this coming Saturday against Girona.
Coach Alguacil proud despite defeat. “It was much closer to a draw than a 2-0 result”
FC Barcelona’s Wednesday victory was clearly helped by the advantage play. In the 40th minute, Real Sociedad midfielder Brais Mendez had to leave the field due to a red card. Coach Alguacil, however, did not protest against this decision. “If I were the referee, I would have shown the red card as well,” he admitted.
He also added that he was happy with how his team presented themselves in weakness. “I don’t want to use the word pride because we lost. But today we were hit hard by this exclusion. That’s why I think we have to appreciate the team’s effort. We created clear chances, although we were competing with one less player. In the last 10 minutes it was much closer to a draw than 2-0.
