The situation of FC Barcelona in the Spanish league is getting better and better. Xavi Hernandez’s team leads the Primera Division with 53 points, extending their lead over second-placed Real Madrid to eight points. This is the result of the defeat of Carlo Ancelotti’s charges with Real Mallorca (0: 1). FC Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-0 with goals from Jordi Alba, Gavi and Raphinha. Robert Lewandowski played for 90 minutes, but did not increase his goal tally.
Spaniards announce changes in Barcelona. “They are no longer addicted to Lewandowski”
The Spanish daily “Sport” focused on the last match of Barcelona and the fact that Robert Lewandowski did not score his 15th goal in LaLiga. Journalists point out that Barcelona is no longer so dependent on the goals scored by the Polish striker. “The team is developing, the other forwards have taken a step forward and the midfielders have also started scoring. Barcelona is moving away from its dependence on Lewandowski’s goals at the beginning of the season, leaving it behind,” the article reads.
“Sport” points out that Robert Lewandowski’s participation in Barcelona’s goals was 45 percent. which is a result comparable to the results of Leo Messi during his time with Barcelona. “When Lewandowski didn’t score, the team couldn’t beat the opponents and at best drew. The Pole missed all four defeats of the team this season – in El Clasico at the Bernabeu, against Inter in Milan and in both matches with Bayern Munich” – add Spanish journalists, stressing that “Xavi is happy with the team’s progress”.
“There is no doubt that Lewandowski is the most decisive player in the team, but it is true that Barcelona can win games without him. This improvement will give Xavi’s team many more chances to win,” concludes the “Sport” daily. FC Barcelona, apart from playing in the Spanish league, remains in the game on two other fronts. In the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, they will face Real Madrid, and in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, the rival of Xavi’s charges will be Manchester United.
