Lewandowski’s numbers with Barcelona this season
It is good that Lewandowski will not be away from Barcelona for long, as he is the most important player in the Catalan club this season, according to the numbers.
The former Bayern Munich star scored 19 goals and made two others in 17 matches in all competitions, and he is one of the most scoring contributors in the five major leagues.
Lewa was the center of attention in the Real Sociedad match after the strange goal that was disallowed for him and was one of the main reasons for the Blaugrana’s 1-0 loss at the Anoeta Stadium.
