Robert Lewandowski in Sunday’s match against Cadiz scored his first goal in four months in front of his own audience. The Pole is experiencing a slight crisis of form. Despite this, the Spaniards believe that he will lead FC Barcelona to victory over Manchester United, but at the same time highlight his unsuccessful matches against great rivals.
Robert Lewandowski is to lead FC Barcelona to a win over Manchester. “The spotlights will not be directed at him”
Madrid’s “AS” points out that Robert Lewandowski scored his 15th goal in LaLiga against Cadiz and is the undisputed leader in the classification of scorers ahead of Joselu and Karim Benzema, who have 11 goals each. The newspaper also stresses that “his ability to orientate himself and make decisions in the penalty area make him a deadly player”.
The diary, however, focuses on the fact that our striker is not in the best shape, despite the goal. According to the Spaniards, Thursday’s match against Manchester United as part of the second leg of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League will be a “real test” for him. “Barca needs a Pole who has never played against Manchester United until last week to appear in a big game.”
With words about “appearing in a big match”, Spanish journalists refer to Lewandowski’s mediocre performances in meetings with the best rivals. “Apart from the Spanish Super Cup final, in which he scored one goal and assisted the other two, he failed in the El Clasico of the first round of LaLiga, was absent against Bayern in the group stage of the Champions League and did not score in Milan in the big match against Inter ” – we read (although in the meeting with Inter at Camp Nou he scored a double – editor’s note). “The spotlight will be on him on Thursday and he must not fail if he wants Barca to survive in Europe,” it concluded.
