Played like crap today. But Barcelona wasn't exactly playing their A game today either.

His positioning and drawing in defenders gives Barca attack and mid more space to operate. Yes, in that sense he's sort of a sacrificial lamb upfront, but there is a purpose to it.

In terms of number of goals AND higher goal-to-chance ratio, nobody including Haaland matches Lewandowski in the last few seasons now. His efficiency is unmatched.

Say what you want about Suarez but despite all the hype around strikers like Haaland, Lewandowski was still the more clinical striker last season. Higher G/Sh than Kane and Haaland, and by a fairly big margin too. Lewandowski is still basically top 3 best strikers in the world right now unless...

He had a hamstring injury. You're jumping to conclusions way too early.

It's obvious he is not completely fit. I'm surprised Flick put him in because that shows desperation and lack of confidence in his squad without Lewandowski upfront. Barcelona needs him back in form and fast.

Yeah Hansi Flick will likely play him a lot less in the first half of the season. But the thing is, last season he didn't fall off for no reason, he got injured. I don't think every season is the same deal. Injury can happen anytime. I still blame him for not showing up in the end especially...

Quite good in these preseason games

The timing of that was messed up and you're right to criticize him. It's not his fault for getting injured but it's still his fault. However, many Barca fans were arguing Barca does better without him. Several months ago many analysts argued Lewy slows down Barca's attack and Olmo or Ferran...

I am talking about goals and the stats are clear. I don't deny Lamine is a great talent.

Glory hunters just won't pass or even look for Lewandowski. Yamal scores a goal for every 12.43 shots In this game Yamal got 1 goal for like 6 shots. Result: Barca lose Surprised? No Lewandowski scores a goal for every 3.36 shots he takes. Yamal maybe the best thing ever. Hell, Fermin...

Or Barca players can just pass the ball to Lewy to get maximum number of goals and wins instead of going for glory every time

It really is sad that Barca got knocked out of the UCL. But it's exactly what the Lewy haters wanted. "Barca plays better without Lewandowski" "He slows down the attack" "He's just not necessary for Barca to win" Now it's all his fault ofcourse. Because Barca simply struggled without him...

He played well with what he had, just didn't get anything of real substance coming his way upfront. When you have superstars like Yamal I guess ignoring Lewandowski is a great idea.

If Lewy will play, he'll play because Barca are down, and at that point I see Flick going all in on the attack with Yamal, Rafinha, Ferran and Lewy. If Barca are up I see Lewy coming in as well as he can help defensively and with the hold up play which Barca was missing in the 1st leg. Either...

Although I doubt he is fully recovered and 100%. But I have no doubt he'll give 110% in such an important match even if it's just for 20-30 minutes he's on.

Yup. This is one of those games where he can't be criticized for not scoring

Played a great game. Sadly, the players around him didn't when it could have counted the most

Could have scored 2 more if Yamal just made the pass. I'm liking the Lewandowski and Fermin link up as of late.

Can't be blamed today. Barca players getting goal greedy. Could be their downfall. Seriously, if you have a tough game, have Lewandowski in position, make the pass. Yamal doing one too many spaghetti moves
