Robert Lewandowski couldn’t help his team in three league matches due to suspension, but FC Barcelona did an excellent job in the absence of their star. The Spaniards did not pass over the excellent form of the team. Blaugrana is no longer dependent on the disposal of the Polish striker, which brings her numerous praise.
Although the fans predicted that the suspension of Robert Lewandowski would cost Barcelona a few points, the team did great without the Pole. In three matches Blaugrana scored a set of points. Even with the striker’s return, the game isn’t based solely on his performance, which has earned the team a lot of praise.
Sergi de Juan from the Catalan website sport.es appreciates that Barcelona’s dependence on Lewandowski’s goals is no longer what it was at the beginning of the season. Not without significance is the improvement of other offensive players who are able to release the former Bayern player from the obligation to score more goals.
“Xavi is very pleased with the progress the team has made, which is also reflected in the less reliance on Robert Lewandowski for goals. There is no doubt that he is the most important player in the team and that he is still better than his attacking colleagues in every way. it is, however, that Barca can already win matches without the need for a Pole to score goals.
The Spaniard draws attention to the fact that at the end of the previous year, Lewandowski scored two more goals than his teammates combined. After a few meetings of the new year, the situation turned around (although it should be remembered that the Pole was suspended for three meetings).
After beating Sevilla, FC Barcelona is eight points ahead of Real Madrid. Xavi’s team is getting closer to reclaiming the national championship.
