Robert Lewandowski ended a streak of four consecutive matches scoring in LaLiga against Betis (1-1)
FC Barcelona drew at home against Real Betis (1-1) in a match where Hansi Flick's team repeatedly faced Adrián San Miguel, the standout player of the match. The 'verdiblanco' goalkeeper made four key saves to maintain the draw on the scoreboard, neutralizing the azulgrana attacking trio on a particularly gray day for Robert Lewandowski. The Pole had little involvement, with only 10 completed passes (77%) and one off-target shot in 90 minutes.
The '9' had come from four consecutive matches scoring, thus equaling his best streak in the tournament this season. 'Lewy' scored in matchdays 21, 22, 23, and 24 against Valencia, Alavés, Sevilla, and Rayo. After that, he went scoreless in the visit to Las Palmas, before chaining four consecutive matches with goals against Real Sociedad, Atlético, Osasuna, and Girona. In fact, he had scored a brace against the Catalans.
Lewandowski Maintains His Lead Over Mbappé in the Pichichi Race
With this, Robert reached 25 goals in 28 matches in the tournament, but in his 29th appearance, he again failed to shake the net, something that has only happened to him three times this 2025 in LaLiga. Previously, Lewandowski had a streak of 7 goals in 3 consecutive matches (a 'hat trick' against Alavés and braces against Sevilla and Real Madrid).
Last season, the Pole only managed to string together four consecutive matches with goals, while in the 22-23 season, his debut season, he scored at least one goal between matchdays 2 and 7, making this his best scoring streak in the tournament. Despite not scoring on Saturday against Betis, a rival he had already scored against in the first round (2-2 at the Benito Villamarín), the Barça '9' maintains his lead over Kylian Mbappé.
The Frenchman also failed to score in Real Madrid's defeat against Valencia (1-2), which means Robert (25) maintains his 3-goal lead over 'Kiki' (22) in the Pichichi race with eight matchdays to go. Budimir (15), Raphinha (13), and Oihan Sancet (13) remain as the closest competitors to the Pole and the Frenchman, far behind both.
