Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona crushed Sevilla on Sunday in Montjuïc (5-1) in another stellar night for Robert Lewandowski. The Pole scored a double in the first half to seal the Barça victory before the break and, in addition, extend their advantage in the Pichichi table, with 12 goals in just 10 games.

The match was under culé control from start to finish. In the 24th minute, the '9' opened the scoring thanks to a penalty caused by Raphinha, finishing masterfully against goalkeeper Nyland. The Norwegian could do nothing against the Pole's feint, who waited until the last moment to kick to the side.

With the score at 1-0, Sevilla gave up and Pedri extended the lead with a great goal in the 28th minute. Eleven minutes later, 'Lewy' sealed his double thanks to a shot from Raphinha that the forward, like a true 'killer', managed to deflect by stretching his right foot.

The VAR confirmed Robert's correct position, enabled by Marcao. With the game resolved, Hansi Flick preferred to give it a rest with 24 minutes left, putting Pau Víctor in the center of the area.

Lewandowski remains on fire and warns Bayern and Real Madrid

In total, the 36-year-old completed 14 of 20 passes (70%), with a saving clearance on the line just before halftime, 4 shots (3 on goal) and 2 duels won in 5 attempts. In addition, he extended his streak of consecutive games scoring (3) and already has 4 doubles in 24/25 (3 in the League, along with a hat trick).

The Pole continues to be in spectacular form, with 14 goals in his first 12 games of the season, where he has also contributed a couple of assists. Before a key week in which he has to face Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, the '9' sends a clear message to the Bavarians and 'Meringues' after a difficult FIFA date with his national team again.
