Robert Lewandowski will reach his centenary with Barça against Girona

FC Barcelona will visit Girona next Sunday in what will be Robert Lewandowski's 100th official match at the club. The 36-year-old forward has accumulated 46 goals in 76 games played in LaLiga and arrives at Montilivi as Pichichi of the tournament, an award he already won in his first season as a culé. That season, the Warsaw player scored 23 goals in 34 games, enough to help Barça win the championship.

At the moment, the Pole has 63 goals and 18 assists in 99 official matches (8,097 minutes), with two titles under his belt (the Spanish Super Cup 2022 and LaLiga 22/23). The start of the '9' season has once again excited Barcelona fans after a 23/24 season where he was somewhat off in his offensive production. 'Lewy' only stopped scoring against Rayo and has 4 goals in 4 games, in addition to an assist (in the win over Valladolid).

Flick has recovered the best version of Lewandowski

For the '9', the key to his recovery is the confidence of Hansi Flick. The German coach was the one who benefited the most from his powerful offense at Bayern Munich and, despite the age factor, he is clear about how to stop the team so that the Warsaw player can feel comfortable in the area, as well as the best way to dose his minutes in a demanding season. Likewise, the coaching staff has confirmed him as the leader of a young team, but full of talent.

Robert seems happy, confident and motivated to help Barça and fulfill the two years of his remaining contract. Beyond the doubts generated by his decline in 2023/24, Lewandowski knows he is loved and respected in Catalonia and hopes to once again aspire to win it all in 2025. As long as the 'killer' keeps the gunpowder burning, Barça can get seriously excited this season. On Sunday, the Pole hopes to extend his scoring streak to celebrate his centenary with a victory that confirms his lead in the League.
