Barcelona are expected to break some records after scoring 40 goals in their first 13 La Liga games and 15 in four Champions League games, averaging well over three goals per game to start the Hansi Flick era. Offensive record.
MSN aside, the fivesome of Lamine Hjalmar, Robert Lewandowski, Rafinha, Dani Olmo and Pedri are leading Barcelona’s attack with pace Quick, versatile, athletic, technical and absolutely devastating on the counter-attack.
Yamal is the crown jewel of this Barcelona side and as a 17-year-old he already has every reason to be the best player in the world, especially after last Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad. The entire offense struggled without him in the game.
While Yamal was outstanding and irreplaceable against Real Sociedad, the Blaugrana do have another emerging talent on the wing in Toni Fernandez, and they could start Raphinha on the right.
However, they have no backup for Robert Lewandowski, although the back injury he suffered while “resting” from international duty was so minor that you start to wonder if this wasn’t just an excuse to give him extra rest, but a Chance.
Yamal is also irreplaceable in terms of skills and ability, but I want to prove that Lewandowski is the ultimate player that Barcelona cannot lose.
In world football, goals win you games, you just have to ask teams like Arsenal, Chelsea or even Real Madrid how many points they can drop in a season because you have nothing but players who are really in the box Everything is ready.
Lewandowski has been the epitome of world-class finishing ever since he started hitting his stride at Borussia Dortmund nearly a decade ago and eventually became Bayern Munich’s record-breaking machine for Gerd Muller.
Although the Poland international has had to round out his game at Barcelona, Hansi Flick has helped the 36-year-old unleash his inner beast, scoring 14 goals in 13 La Liga starts .
No player in Europe’s top five leagues has as many goals as Lewandowski, as the Barcelona star has three more than Bundesliga duo Harry Kane and Omar Marmouche goals, and they play in a league that’s more goal-friendly (though, it’s important to note that Lewandowski has scored three goals in more games than either of them).
Barcelona don’t even have a promising La Masia product to replace Leiva if anything happens after Marc Giu’s move to Chelsea, and they’ve already sold Vitor Roque to Real Betis. Because the Brazilian genius couldn’t even compete in the game past the veteran No. 9.
But that’s where Lewandowski excels. He is so reliable, technically brilliant, positionally keen, able to create chances and so consistently clinical that Barcelona would not dream of resting him.
His form was so good, his approach so professional, they didn’t need to. Throughout the entire La Liga and Champions League seasons, Lewandowski, with only Ferran Torres as a temporary substitute, was the top player that Barcelona could not afford to lose.
