Robert Lewandowski has missed FC Barcelona’s last three league games due to suspension. He missed matches against Atletico Madrid, Getafe and Girona. Despite the absence of the leader, the Catalans quite modestly, but still triumphed in each of these clashes 1:0. On Wednesday, February 1, the Pole appeared again on the LaLiga pitches. The 34-year-old rewarded the fans with his absence before the first whistle of the meeting with Real Betis.
Lewandowski impressed fans at Estadio Benito Villamarin. “Someone here is very excited to be back”

Lewandowski warmed up with the ball, and in the meantime showed off some spectacular tricks, which were immediately recorded by the cameras on the pitch. The Pole was picking up the football, playing with it and practicing feints. Very quickly, the video of the striker’s performances went online and was shared by FC Barcelona. The video was captioned: “Someone here is very excited to be back.”
This is not the first time that Lewandowski has presented his technical skills. He showed off equally spectacular tricks during the official presentation at the Camp Nou stadium in August 2022. .
FC Barcelona fans have high hopes for the striker. And so far this one has not failed them. He made 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring 23 goals and providing five assists. He also scored against Real Betis. Lewandowski was almost completely invisible throughout the match, but he managed to get on the scoresheet anyway. In the 80th minute, the Pole found himself in the penalty area after a set piece. He took the ball and shot it confidently into the opponent’s goal.
