Robert Lewandowski has closed the season in spectacular fashion, scoring his 100th goal with FC Barcelona in an exciting match against Athletic de Bilbao at San Mamés. The Polish forward, who has proven to be a true predator in the box, surpassed goalkeeper Unai Simón with a subtle lob that left fans in awe. Just three minutes later, Lewandowski sealed his brace with a header from a corner taken by young Lamine Yamal, raising his goal tally to 101 in three seasons with the blaugrana jersey.
The striker was not satisfied with just those two goals and came close to adding to his tally on a couple of more occasions. In one play, after a low cross from Raphinha, his shot went over the crossbar. In another, after a tussle with Yuri, the ball also sailed high, leaving fans wanting more.
With this brace, Lewandowski finished the season with a total of 42 goals in 52 matches, broken down into 27 in LaLiga, 11 in Champions, 3 in Copa del Rey, and 1 in Supercopa de España. At 36 years old, the Polish striker continues to demonstrate that he is a key player for the team, and his goal-scoring ability is undeniable.
After the match, Lewandowski addressed the fans in an emotional message: "Hello culés, how are you? I am very proud of the team and what we have achieved this season. I hope you are also happy with our performance on the pitch. Thank you very much for your support. See you next season. Goodbye." With these words, the striker makes it clear that his future remains tied to Barça, reassuring fans who do not see the need to seek an immediate replacement.
Moreover, the development of Ferran Torres as a reliable alternative in the attack allows the team to better manage Lewandowski's workload, who, under Flick's direction, may see more rotations in his position. Undoubtedly, the future of Barça looks promising with a fit Lewandowski and a team that continues to grow.
