In a performance that confirms his status as one of FC Barcelona’s main offensive weapons, Robert Lewandowski emerged as the team’s hero this Sunday at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium. In the match corresponding to matchday 12 of the Spanish LaLiga, the Polish striker scored a double against Deportivo Alavés with a spectacular header that left the rival goalkeeper with no options. And then another penalty.
Lewandowski’s goal materialized in the 53rd minute of the match, after receiving a precise pass from the right by French defender Jules Koundé. The connection between both players was essential to break Alavés’ defensive solidity and bring relief to the culé fans.
It is intriguing that an accomplished header like Lewandowski has registered only two goals with this type in La Liga, the first being against Real in May and today against Alavés. This statistic raises questions about the use of the Pole’s aerial game and the potential of it not yet fully exploited in the Spanish domestic sphere.
How many goals does Lewandowski have this season?
With this goal, Lewandowski has scored six goals so far this Spanish LaLiga season. His scoring ability has previously been highlighted with goals against teams of the caliber of Celta de Vigo (2), Betis, Osasuna and Villarreal, consolidating his importance as Barcelona’s leading scorer.
When does FC Barcelona play again?
After the match against Alavés, Xavi Hernández’s team goes to the FIFA break for national team matches around the world. It will be Saturday, November 25, the day that Barcelona has action again when it visits the home of Rayo Vallecano for the thirteenth round of LaLiga. The match will be played at 8 in the morning (Peruvian time) and will be broadcast on ESPN and STAR Plus signals in Latin America.
