Lewandowski and The Future of Barcelona FC
One of the most exciting transfers of this year was Robert Lewandowski’s move from Bayern Munich to Barcelona. After playing for the Bavarians for 8 years, Lewandowski made it clear that he did not wish to extend his contract with his team and would be pursuing a shift elsewhere.
Given that Robert Lewandowski is one of the greatest, if not the best strikers in the world, every football club tried to chase down the legendary striker.
The Dream of Playing for Barcelona F.C.
However, Lewandowski wanted to fulfill his dream of playing for the great Barcelona F.C. The Bayern management tried various tactics to keep the poacher from Poland in Germany, but they eventually gave in to the player’s wishes.
Barcelona is considered one of the greatest clubs in the world. With notable football players gracing their history books including Pele, Ronaldinho, Xavi, and Iniesta, FC Barcelona has a full trophy cabinet with 26 League Titles and 5 Champions League accolades.
The club peaked in the football world in the era of the great Lionel Messi, Argentina's prodigal son. Messi won 6 Ballon D'ors, the highest amount achieved by any player since the inception of the award.
The Ultimate Trio
The trio of Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi, with Puyol at the back, proved fruitful for Barcelona and is now remembered as one of the most iconic teams in club football history.
Additionally, a recent sponsorship deal also saw Barcelona venturing into the world of betting online, making the sporting experience for fans even more of an adrenaline rush than it already is and the club at a truly different level.
The Rebuild Phase
Barcelona went into a rebuilding phase when Messi departed to PSG. However, the team had been falling short of their usual success in Messi’s last years.
Some noteworthy instances include their elimination from the Champions League after securing a 3-0 first-leg lead against Liverpool. The team faced a similar situation the previous year, losing a close second-leg encounter against Roma in 2018.
The post-Messi era has been terrible for Barcelona. The club performed poorly in the champions league and was below par in La Liga as well.
COVID-19 posed a financial crisis for the Catalans, restricting their options in the transfer market. The disaster did not end as Barcelona failed to advance in Europa League as well.
Could Lewandowski Be the Answer?
Lewandowski could be the savior Barcelona needs right now to re-establish its position as the king of Europe. Until now, Lewandowski has scored 5 goals in 4 matches in the domestic La Liga and a hat-trick in his first champions league match for Barcelona.
One can say that if this form continues, Barcelona could be on its way to a possible treble. Currently, they sit behind Real Madrid in the league table by just 2 points, although it is too early to predict who will retain the number one spot by the end of the season.
The Final Years of Lewandowski’s Career
It should also be considered that Lewandowski, being 34 years old, is nearing the end of his career. Nevertheless, the Polish striker is aging like fine wine, continuing where he left off last season.
Lewandowski netted 34 goals in Bundesliga, 15 in Champions League, and 5 in DFB Pokal, earning the top scorer award for all three competitions.
Based on his tenure at Bayern, Lewa is expected to win the golden boot this year as well, alongwith the Ballon D'or.
The Future of Barcelona FC
It isn't unsurprising to assume that Barcelona is in safe hands with his arrival at Camp Nou. In addition, Barcelona has an exciting roster at its disposal, including a mix of pure talent and experience.
With the familiarity that comes from veterans like Busquets and Pique and the talent of young stars like Ansu Fati and Rafinha, Lewandowski has a team that can both create and score goals.
Barcelona still needs to invest in their defense according to the fans, as competing at the elite level and crunch matches requires a sound line-up at the back.
