FC Barcelona is smiling, why? Despite the defeat against AC Milan at the end of the 2024/25 pre-season tour in the United States, Robert Lewandowski is seen on his way to recovering his best scoring form, as he scored a double against the 'rossoneri'
Robert Lewandowski had a great game. Unfortunately, the Polish '9' was unable to crown his brilliant performance against AC Milan with a victory. However, it is indisputable that his double against the 'rossoneri', despite being in a pre-season match, has generated some expectations about whether the Warsaw native is on his way to recovering his best scoring form. Given this, it is expected that his most 'predatory' version will re-emerge under the tutelage of Hansi Flick.
Speaking about the performance against the Italians, the former Bayern Munich player was the main reference to lead the culé's comeback attempt at the M&T Bank Stadium. With the score at 0-2, the Warsaw native became the architect of the goal that brought the Catalans closer with a 1-2 in the 21st minute. Showing his quality as a goalscorer, he received the ball in the half-moon area of the rival area and unleashed an unexpected shot with his right foot, leaving the rival goalkeeper, Lorenzo Torriani, with no options.

In the 58th minute, 'Lewy' managed to make it 2-2, once again demonstrating his DNA as an area 'killer'. He masterfully received a pass from a 'crack' from Pau Víctor, who served the ball with a precise cross to the Pole, who only had to subtly touch it with his left leg to score, once again demonstrating his great goal-scoring ability.
Which do you like better, the goal or the assist?

'Lewy' left very good impressions against AC Milan
However, beyond his brutal contribution to the score, 'Lewy' also showed himself to be extremely involved in offensive tasks. He even gave a masterful assist to Pau Victor with a backheel, but unfortunately, this was only for the anecdote, since although the Sancugatense scored that goal, it would not count on the scoreboard because Victor was in an offside position.
Not only that, but Lewandowski gave the impression of being impeccable physically speaking and with that spark and confidence that led him to constantly try to break through the 'rossoneri' resistance, having some very interesting goal opportunities, such as a header from a cross by Alex Valle that was repelled by goalkeeper Torriani. In addition, he was seen trying more than one shot that, although perhaps did not reach the desired destination, showed the facet of a Robert hungry for goals.
