Lewandowski scores twice to surpass 100 goals for Barça!
Hi community!
The 1-0 win against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés, a work of art, was also the Blaugrana's 100th in the 2024-25 La Liga, while the 2-0 victory was opportunistic.
The Pole has 27 in La Liga, placing him four behind Mbappé, the top scorer, and the Golden Boot winner with 31.
Robert Lewandowski's 100th goal for Barça had been eluding him, having not scored since a brace against Borussia Dortmund on April 9. An injury and subsequent lack of rhythm hampered him. But at San Mamés, on the final matchday of the 2024-25 La Liga season, the Polish striker finally got over the thorn. And he did it with a work of art. In the 13th minute, he controlled a superb pass from Fermín after a move initiated by Pedri, and chipped the ball over Unai Simón. It is also Barça's 100th goal in the 2024-25 La Liga season.
And with his poor run over, Robert Lewandowski scored the 2-0 in the 17th minute, this time opportunistically, heading home a corner taken by Raphinha with a wicked curling effect. Unai Gómez touched the ball and confused Unai Simón as he came out. 101 for Lewy and for Barça.
With this instant brace, Lewandowski has 27 goals in this season and is four behind the top scorer, Mbappé (31). Reaching him would also mean the Golden Boot. Difficult, but not impossible. If not for the semitendinosus muscle injury in his left leg he suffered on April 19 against Celta Vigo (4-3), he would have been closer to winning the double individual trophy. He missed three league matches against Mallorca, Valladolid, and Real Madrid, and suffered from inactivity against Espanyol and Villarreal.
At 36 years old, Lewandowski has reached 42 goals this season (27 in La Liga, 11 in the Champions League, 3 in the Cup and one in the Spanish Super Cup), which adds to the 33 of his first campaign with Barça (23 in La Liga, 5 in the Champions League, 3 in the Cup, 2 in the Europa League and 2 in the Cup), the 2022-23, and the 26 of the 2023-24 (19 in La Liga, 3 in the Champions League, 2 in the Cup and 2 in the Spanish Super Cup) to add up to 101. Therefore he has 69 in La Liga, 19 in the Champions League, 8 in the Cup, 3 in the Spanish Super Cup and 2 in the Europa League.
