Barcelona News: Robert Lewandowski has reached a new goalscoring feat under Barcelona manager Xavi.
Lewandowski’s brace helped Barça beat a 10-man Elche side at their stadium, the Camp Nou. The forward has just scored 11 goals in his 8 appearances.
On average, Lewy scores a goal every 57 minutes for his new club Barcelona. His instincts inside the penalty area were what Barça lacked last season.
The striker’s arrival at the beginning of the summer from Bayern was one of the biggest transfers in Barcelona’s history. He is the main star at Camp Nou at the moment, and Barça have built their team around him.
Barcelona News: Lewandowski So Far
The impact of the Polish international on the ground is enormous, as no other player in the club’s history has scored more goals in his first eight games.
But his debut against Rayo Vallecano was a goalless draw on the opening day of the LaLiga match. He also wasted plenty of chances against his old club Bayern Munich in last week’s 2-0 loss to Barca.
Lewy’s goal continues against rivals such as Real Sociedad, Real Valladolid, Cádiz and Sevilla. The striker also scored a hat-trick against Viktoria Plzen in the opening match of the Champions League.
No player has been able to achieve the feat of scoring eight LaLiga goals in his debut season with Barça. The former Bayern superstar has just broken the record held by Brazilian great Romario, who scored 6 goals for the Blaugrana.
Barcelona news: Xavi “surprised”
After defeating Elche, Xavi said in the press conference after the match: “What has surprised me is his human quality. He is humble and the best professional. We had no doubts about the other (sporting) qualities.”
Xavi also spoke about Ousmane Dembele, who became a father this week. His future was highly speculative this summer but he has signed a contract renewal to extend his stay at the club.
The Barça coach praised the French player, saying: “He is involved and has a tremendous level of commitment. I am satisfied and happy that he is here.” Xavi also believes that his player deserves to be in the France team.
Speaking of Barça’s goal, Xavi made it clear: “Win, win and win. We have to win all the matches. Winning has to be a drug for us.”
Newcomer Lewandowski has already been a huge success for the Blaugrana as he has scored 8 goals and is at the top of the scoring charts.
Lewy will also add some spice to El Clasico lovers when the two best strikers in the world square off. It seems that the Polish international will direct this young Barcelona for the moment after the departure of Messi last season.
