Let Lewandowski come back! Xavi is desperately waiting for the Pole

In the last three league matches, FC Barcelona played shorthanded, as attacking leader Robert Lewandowski was absent due to suspension. Despite the absence of the Polish representative, the Catalans won all matches. They triumphed successively against Atletico Madrid and Getafe – 1:0. The match of the 18th round of La Liga ended with the same result, in which Xavi Hernandez’s team faced Girona, and Pedri scored the triumphant goal in the 61st minute. “Again, it was visible how much Barcelona depends on the Pole. Despite dominance and playing mainly in the rival’s half, it was getting tired, the offensive lacked specifics, the right finish” – .

Xavi can’t wait for Lewandowski to return. “We always miss a player like Robert”

In each of the three league matches, Lewandowski was replaced by Ansu Fati. “9” is not the Spaniard’s nominal position, which was evident on the pitch. It lacked efficiency and precision. Xavi did not hide after the match against Girona that although he was satisfied with the performances of the young striker, he was eagerly waiting for Lewandowski’s return. According to the coach, the team has more potential when the 34-year-old is playing at the top.

We always miss a player like Robert. Fortunately, we managed to win all three games where we couldn’t use him. This shows that the team is solid, but…. he has to come back now. Robert is a player who can make a difference. He puts a lot of pressure on his opponents and has a shooting ability that not every player can boast of.”

Although Lewandowski was suspended from the league, he still appeared in the Barcelona team. But in other games. He appeared in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup with Real Betis (2: 2, 4-2 rz. k.), in which he scored one goal. It was similar in the final against Real Madrid (3:1).

He also helped the team reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. He scored two goals in the round of 16 against AD Ceuta (5-0). He fared slightly worse in the quarter-final against Real Sociedad (1-0), but Xavi was still satisfied with his performance. “Lewandowski works for the team and creates situations. I am very pleased with his work in attack. Even if he didn’t score, he played the whole game well and we have to give him credit as well.
