In terms of sport, Robert Lewandowski is indispensable for FC Barcelona. Whether the long-time FC Bayern goalscorer is good for the internal climate at the Catalans is another matter – which an alleged demand on coach Xavi proves.
At FC Bayern, too, Robert Lewandowski once made a name for himself with great sporting qualities, but also with one or the other corner and edge.
In particular, during the brief collaboration with coach Julian Nagelsmann, there was always speculation about Lewandowski’s internal stink boot appearance.
Among other things, the 35-year-old Pole is said to have no longer felt tactically involved enough in the Munich game – a circumstance that ultimately led to his departure from Bayern.
Head coach Xavi at Lewandowski’s new employer FC Barcelona apparently has to deal with the superstar’s own head at the moment.
Explosive claim by Robert Lewandowski revealed
As the “El Nacional” portal reports, Lewandowski no longer wants to be on the pitch with offensive colleague Ansu Fati. He even demanded that Xavi move the 20-year-old further down Barca’s forward hierarchy and no longer be considered for substitutions, they say. Lewandowski would rather play with Ez Abde, Ferran Torres, Raphinha or Lamine Yamal, who is only 16 years old.
In fact, in the most recent 4-3 win of the Spanish champions at FC Villarreal, Fati failed to cross Lewandowski in a scene, instead looking for the end himself and giving it away.
The fact that Lewandowski later carried out a similar action was seen as a tit-for-tat. The veteran is said to have complained about similar incidents with Fati last season.
Is FC Barcelona now threatened with the big Lewandowski Zoff?
Explosive: Fati is considered one of Barca’s future faces. The winger comes from his own offspring. Only in 2021 did the club extend his contract long-term until 2027.
The conflict with Lewandowski could still make waves in Catalonia – especially since the former Bundesliga legionnaire once again demonstrated his top class with his winning goal against Villarreal and was then ennobled by captain Sergi Roberto as “indispensable”.
