The Polish striker started the La Liga season brilliantly. A week ago, he scored twice for Valencia (2:1) and was named man of the match. On Saturday, he scored once, but again he sealed the victory – against the dangerous Basques.
The Polish captain searched for this goal all night long. He hit the post twice and, on another occasion, his shot was saved by Alex Padilla, but in the end the Athletico goalkeeper gave in.
Robert Lewandowski wants to regain the top scorer’s crown
It was 75 minutes into the game. Barcelona drew 1-1 because Oihan Sancet responded to Lamine Yamal’s goal by converting a penalty after a VAR review confirmed a foul by Pau Cubarsi.
The Catalans tried unsuccessfully to break down the Basque defence for more than half an hour. Finally, with a quarter of an hour remaining, they produced a move that was worth three points, and the final word was from Lewandowski, who ran onto the ball deflected by Padilla and directed it into the empty net.
