9 - Robert Lewandowski

This match proved to me that when a situation on a pitch seems nothing else but hopeless, you had better keep Robert on.

Carlo Ancelotti, similarly to Flick now, was under heat from the press and the fans at the time. And this match against Schalke...until 80 th minute, Bayern attacking attempts were neutered by otherwise well motivated Schalke team, who gave them a solid match.

After this, Carlos, like a Padri, kissed RL9 on the forehead for saving the day.

This explains @Maradona37 's hate against Lewy :flick2:
TBF Scotland was unfortunate in that match. The 1st goal of Lewandowski was arguably from the off side, although no VAR existed yet at the time. Then they played very well. Their fans created a spectacular atmosphere on the stadium, and conceding the last second goal must have realy hurt. I kind of felt for them because, unlike other nations, they were respectful during the national anthem of Poland, and throughout the game behaved with a host's due respect.
But the karma returned, and they scored similarly a deserved winner in Warsaw a few weeks back, which relegated Poland from A group to B in Nations Leage. It hurt too.

I don't hate him. He seems a thoroughly decent guy and I already acknowledged he is one of the best strikers of his generation. Yeah he seems bland but he seems a very good guy who has never done anything bad to anyone really.

However A) I just don't particularly enjoy watching him and B) I am calling what I have seen. He does have a good goalscoring record this season for sure but it's still very hard to win anything with an immobile ancient striker whose link up play has declined a lot.

Like I said, if he was still in his prime and could replicate Bayern form at Barca, he'd likely be doing very well. But in this current form I believe he can't last a season at full pelt. However, Barca don't seem to have that many other players who can score regularly so maybe he does have to play.

However, I most definitely do not hate the guy. He seems a stand-up character. Just not my type of player to watch and believe he is well in decline, which you expect from a 36 year old forward.
