Robert Lewandowski reached 100 official games with FC Barcelona this Sunday in the resounding win against Girona (1-4). The Pole, although he could not 'get wet', celebrated his Barça centenary in style
FC Barcelona maintained its perfect pace in LaLiga with its fifth victory in a row, this time in Montilivi against Girona (1-4). The match was particularly special for Robert Lewandowski, as the '9' reached 100 official matches with the Barça shirt in his third season. With the Pole on the field, Barça has 65 wins, 14 draws and 21 losses in all competitions, in addition to 2 titles (League and Spanish Super Cup).
In the League, Sunday was duel number 74, a tournament where the player from Warsaw has scored 46 goals and 16 assists since his official debut on August 13, 2022 against Rayo (0-0). At the moment, the '9' has 63 goals and 18 assists in official duels, records that he will seek to expand next Thursday in the Champions League against Monaco. With the culés, 'Lewy' has played 14 matches in the top European club competition, with 8 goals and 1 assist.
The rest of the goals scored by Robert were in the Copa del Rey (4 goals in 6 games), the Spanish Super Cup (4 goals in the same number of appearances) and the Europa League (1 goal in 2 games). In the Super Cup he also recorded 1 assist in his two participations (2023 and 2024), with two finals played (both against Real Madrid). In the Cup it has reached the semi-finals and, in the Champions League, it has reached the quarterfinals so far.

Lewandowski could not extend his advantage in the fight for Pichichi
Despite the culé rout, Lewandowski was unable to extend his good scoring streak at Montilivi, although he had a couple of very clear opportunities to 'get wet'. In the 56th minute, with Girona completely broken in the background, the Pole wanted to score one-on-one against Gazzaniga, but the Argentine goalkeeper guessed his intention, blocking the shot with a swipe. Three minutes later, Lamine gave him an ideal ball to shoot the 'albirrojo' goalkeeper, but his shot ended up in the stands.
With 20' to go, with the duel completely settled, Hansi Flick took the opportunity to give Pau Víctor minutes, removing the '9' and Pedri so that Ferran Torres could also enter. Despite not converting in Montilivi, 'Lewy' continues to lead the Pichichi table in LaLiga with 4 goals in 5 games. He is followed by his teammates Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal, as well as Ayoze Pérez, Javi Puado and Kylian Mbappé, all with 3 goals. Next Sunday, at El Madrigal, the Pole will seek to resume the scoring streak from the beginning of the tournament.
