Lewandowski changed Barcelona not only on the pitch. The unusual role of a Pole

FC Barcelona is getting more and more confident to win the Spanish championship. Thanks to the 3-0 win over Sevilla (goals from Jordi Alba, Gavi and Raphinha – ed.), the team led by Xavi Hernandez is already eight points ahead of second place Real Madrid. This is the result of the slip-up of the Madrid players in the match against Real Mallorca (0: 1). The clash with Sevilla was the seventh match of the Primera Division this season in which Robert Lewandowski did not score a goal. Despite this, the Spanish media still rave about him.

Spaniards are delighted with Lewandowski. “He has united the dressing room. He is a reference point”

Albert Masnou from the Spanish newspaper “Sport” decided to summarize the first 200 days of Robert Lewandowski in Barcelona. The journalist first pointed out that there were some question marks on the occasion of this transfer. “The arrival of Lewandowski raised some doubts – whether because of his age, or because he plays as a center forward and Barcelona may not need him at many stages. First of all, he raised doubts because he came to fill the gap left by Leo Messi. Not only because position on the pitch,” the article reads.

Later, Masnou focused only on the positives and showed how much influence Robert Lewandowski has on Barcelona. “Lewandowski more than fulfilled the role for which he was brought in. He is also a point of reference in a team full of young players, he united the dressing room – to make the team cohesive, he, Alba and Busquets ensure balance. In addition, he is a starting point in a new group that was born in locker room – he, Frenkie De Jong, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Andreas Christensen. Not only do they get along well, but also their wives and partners, “adds the journalist of “Sport”.

“Robert Lewandowski is a transfer that immediately and more than fulfills what he was actually signed for. And yet he suffers because something is missing in the attack all the time. There are not enough chances there because not all wingers pass the ball to him” – sums up Albert Masnou .

Currently, Robert Lewandowski is the top scorer in the Spanish league with 14 goals and has three goals more than Joselu of Espanyol. The balance of the Polish striker in all competitions is 23 goals and 5 assists in 26 games.
