FC Barcelona did not come close to advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Xavi Hernandez’s team drew 1-1 with Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with Robert Lewandowski scoring the only goal for Barcelona, defeating Alex Meret in the 60th minute. Napoli scored an equalizer 16 minutes later through Victor Osimhen, leaving the question of advancing in the second leg still open. How was the Polish representative assessed by the Spanish media after the hit in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League?

Praise after praise for Lewandowski. “Killer. Showed he’s in shape”
The Catalan daily “Sport” called Lewandowski a “killer” and gave him a score of 7/10, the highest in the team alongside Frenki de Jong and Ronald Araujo. “He had only two chances, one in each half. In the second half, he sent the ball into the net. It was Lewandowski’s moment and he did not disappoint. Lewandowski showed that he is in form. It is amazing how the arrival of Vitor Roque activated the Pole. It was four goals in Robert’s last three matches and eight goals in 2024,” we read in an article by the Catalan newspaper.
“Marca” draws attention to Lewandowski’s good scoring streak. “The former Bayern Munich striker is on a goal streak for the first time in four matches, scoring five goals. Alex Meret was unable to intervene after a strong shot from the Pole’s right leg. In the first half, Robert had a great chance after Cancelo’s pass, but it was deflected with his leg by the goalkeeper “- writes the Spanish daily.
“This is Lewandowski’s first goal in the Champions League since Barcelona’s match against Antwerp. In the final part, he shook hands with his teammates in defense when Barcelona fell into inexplicable lethargy after Osimhen’s goal,” notes fcbarcelonanoticias.com.
