Fuss about Robert Lewandowski! FC Barcelona won 2-1 (0-1) against Deportivo Alaves on Sunday thanks to a brace from the Polish striker. But afterwards another action by the ex-Bayern star caused a stir.
When the score was 1-1 in the 72nd minute, Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal started dribbling, moved into the penalty area from the right side and shot into the near corner. Alaves goalkeeper Antonio Sivera was able to parry the ball for a corner.
Yamal then ran past Lewandowski and wanted to high five – but the 35-year-old refused. Since there were no players in the immediate vicinity of the two, it was obvious that Yamal wanted to high-five the Pole.
In the video footage from Movistar, Lewandowski can be heard telling the 16-year-old that he should have aimed for the far corner. However, just a few minutes later the two players shook hands when the Pole made it 2-1 with a penalty.
There was already a fuss about the 35-year-old last week because he refused to shake hands with coach Xavi. In a video you could see the coach waiting in front of the dressing room after the 1-0 win against San Sebastian and high-fiving his players. Everyone gave a hug, and some even gave warm hugs. All? No, things were different with Lewandowski. The Pole didn’t even look at the coach, there was just a friendly pat on the back of the head from Xavi.
