Robert Lewandowski has closed the 2024-25 season spectacularly, reaching the 100 goals mark with FC Barcelona in an exciting match against Athletic Club. The Polish striker, who has proven to be a fundamental pillar of the team, bids farewell to the campaign with a brace that not only allows him to celebrate his centenary goal but also reaffirms his commitment to the Barça fans.
With 42 goals in 52 matches, Lewandowski has shown that age is not an obstacle to his performance. At 36 years old, the forward remains a reference in Barça's attack, and his message to supporters after the last league match has been clear and forceful:
“Hello culés, how are you? I am very proud of the team and what we have achieved this season. Thank you very much for your support. See you next season”
This message has not only reassured the fans but also cleared up rumors about a possible departure of the player. Lewandowski has made it clear that his future is with the club, allowing Barça's sports management to plan calmly for the upcoming season.
A bright future at Barça
Lewandowski's continuity is great news for FC Barcelona, which does not feel the pressure to find an immediate replacement. His performance has been exceptional, and his ability to score goals remains intact. Additionally, the growth of Ferran Torres as an offensive alternative allows coach Hansi Flick to manage Lewy's minutes without compromising the team's scoring power.
Lewandowski's season has been stellar, with figures that speak for themselves:
- 27 goals in LaLiga EA Sports
- 11 goals in the Champions League
- 3 goals in the Copa del Rey
- 1 goal in the Supercopa de España
With a total of 42 goals this season, Lewandowski has established himself as one of the key pieces of the azulgrana offensive scheme. His message of continuity comes at a crucial moment, providing stability and confidence for a 2025-26 season that promises to be demanding.
Rest and preparation for the future
On another note, Lewandowski has decided not to participate with the Polish national team in the upcoming international window, prioritizing his rest after an intense season. In a statement, the forward explained: “Sometimes the body sends signals that it needs a break”. This decision, made in conjunction with coach Michał Probierz, will allow the scorer to recharge and return to Barça's preseason in top form.
With his contract secured and the ambition to continue making a difference, Lewandowski is preparing to face a new season at FC Barcelona, where his legacy as one of the best forwards in the club's history continues to be built.
The culé fans can rest easy: as long as there are goals, there will be Lewandowski.
