The Allianz Arena fans greeted Robert Lewandowski with applause on his return to Munich. The FC Barcelona striker returned the applause from the stands in the warm-up prior to the Champions League clash
There was not hostility of the Allianz Sand with Robert Lewandowski. The Pole returned with the FC Barcelona to which went his house during the last eight seasons and the fans of the Bayern Munich received him of respectful form, with a lot of applauses in what the '9' jumped to heat with his mates in the previous of the pertaining crash to the day 2 of the phase of groups of the Champions League.
The Pole, very active in the first part, had a pair of clear occasions to open the marker in favour of the Barça, but Manuel Neur answered with solvency. The goalkeeper of the German selection knows him very well and did not offer fissures in front of the distractions of his mates in the defence of a Bayern surpassed in the first part by the approach culé. However, the zero kept until the rest.
For the fanaticada Bavarian is difficult to see to Lewandowski with another T-shirt. The '9' converted a total of 344 goals and 72 assistances in 375 parties with the club, won all what could win like player muniqués. Further of the taut immediate weeks at the end of the 2021-22 and the crosses of statements with the directive of the Bayern, the fans recognised the professionalism of Robert that has begun of big way the season with the Barça.
Perhaps, the emotional could weigh on the Warsaw on Tuesday. However, Robert combined well with Ousmane Dembélé and Raphinha in the first half and in the second half he put together a wonderful wall with Pedri that the Canarian could not convert due to misfortune, as his shot before Neuer's exit crashed against the post. Like Barça, Lewandowski completed a good game, but he lacked the most important thing: the goal.
End to the scoring streak of 'Lewi'
With the exception of his debut in LaLiga against Rayo Vallecano (0-0), the Pole had been 'wet' in all his games with Barça in 2022-23. 9 goals in 7 games sum up his contribution so far this season, three of them in the Champions League thanks to last week's hat trick against Viktoria Plzen. In the League he has scored 6 goals and 2 assists in 5 games and on Saturday he hopes to return to the scoring streak against Elche at home.
