A few days ago, the Catalan team suffered its first defeat under Hansi Flick’s leadership. They were defeated by Monaco in the Champions League.
“They paid dearly for their mistakes. Europe brought them down to earth,” wrote the daily “Sport”. Barcelona had to play short for most of the match after Eric Garcia was sent off. Robert Lewandowski was also criticized for being invisible.
Villarreal-Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski almost scored a hat trick
After Sunday’s game, no one could blame the Polish striker. At most, for his missed penalty in the second half.
Exactly nine years after Lewandowski scored five goals in just nine minutes for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, he could have completed his second hat-trick in La Liga. When he started against Villarreal, he had already scored twice (he scored the second with an acrobatic effort). He did everything as usual, but this time there was a lack of precision and the ball bounced off the post.
