Robert Lewandowski has once again shown his unadulterated class in the Catalan capital. The Barcelona striker scored a hat-trick when his team needed him most. Barça did not have an easy time against Valencia. The visiting goalkeeper’s red card was the turning point, Lewandowski scored three worthwhile points.

Ronald Araujo cannot thank Robert Lewandowski enough.
The Barcelona defender single-handedly erased his team’s good start by – just like against PSG in the Champions League – with a rash intervention.
“Ball!”, the Uruguayan gestured after his tackle in the box. Although the leather did not come close to his shoe when he knocked Gonzalez down. Pepelu gave Valencia the lead from the spot. For example, youth product Fermin’s early header goal was completely forgotten.
Xavi’s men had a very difficult match, until goalkeeper Mamardashvili lent a helping hand.
Literally, then. The visitors’ goalkeeper completely misjudged an intervention. Yamal hit the ball against his arm outside the large rectangle. With eleven against ten it had to work for Barça, right?

However, a stream of great opportunities did not result in field dominance.
We had to wait until Robert Lewandowski could head in the equalizer at a standstill. The Polish striker celebrated with his arms wide open, but also kept his head: only the victory was enough not to give Real Madrid a push towards the title.
So Lewandowski added the redeeming goal, again from a stationary phase. And to complete his celebration, he also banged in a free kick. A hat trick that his colleague in the defensive line was especially happy with.
The Catalans have 73 points thanks to the not very flashy victory. That is 11 fewer than leader Real Madrid with 15 points left to divide in La Liga.
