Robert Lewandowski’s case received significant media coverage in Germany. The Pole refused to renew with Bayern Munich, and a year after his contract expired, he was forced to leave for FC Barcelona. It is clear that the Bavarians have lost a mainstay in their team, an insatiable goalscorer and one of the hallmarks of their attacking power
However, with the 33-year-old, they were able to inflate his price to €45 million, a very impressive sum for a player, a priori, in the last years of his best football. However, Barcelona have had an amazing start to the season with their star signing, scoring as many as 12 goals in their first 13 league matches. This new season, Lewandowski has collected 5 goals in one fewer day, but considering his ankle injury and two substitutions, these are not alarming numbers
With the Champions League just around the corner, Lewandowski enjoyed 30 minutes against Mallorca. He also scored only 30 goals in El Clásico, his first match back from injury. At San Sebastia, he started again, but Xavi Hernandez replaced him in the 60th minute of the match, having agreed with the player on his late return to the competition
But his first match after the injury was difficult. He did so against one of the most annoying defenses in the league and, above all, in a game in which the team’s players had almost no chance of attacking with so many assets and subduing their opponent
Against Real Sociedad, Lewandowski’s version was not good, but it is expected that he will gradually regain the rhythm of the competition and score goals again. Meanwhile, Bayern don’t seem to be missing him, as the Pole’s gray match date coincided with Der Klassiker . On this occasion, Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund with an impressive goal from Harry Kane
In the German Clásico, Kane debuted with 3 goals at the eternal rival’s stadium, while Lewandowski, in the EA Sports La Liga Classic, doesn’t exactly have a good record. In addition, in the end, the battering ram can only enjoy half an hour after his injury period. Whatever the case, Bayern, who paid €45m for Lewandowski, paid almost half of Kane’s €95m cost to Munich
