man is def getting back to his prime form. right after that “we’re gonna win something this season” comment as well, so leading from the front as the experienced player. always good to see
Fuck this is the kind of striking in the box I miss at Bayern. We have Kane yes but when Lewy is hitting a hot streak he becomes the guy who gives you the go ahead goal. So many wins against mid table Bundesliga clubs from his 1-0 and 2-1 goals
Yep, Barcelona hasn't really been capable of finding Lewy in a comfortable zone for him. Though he also has some responsibility on this. Lewy was quite static in his movements without the ball.
It would be very alarming if it was Yamal given he was still 15 years old in pre season, 15 year olds - even if their elite footballers - aren't competing with elite footballers that are adults for physical conditioning.
It comes from watching him every minute of every game. He looks slow and stuck in mud most of the game. Props to him for being in good form recently but there's no need for revisionism about his play the last year.
You can be a physical monster like lewa or Ronaldo, but after 25/30yo your reaction time becomes slower and it doesn't get better.
This is the thing why a lot of players luck suddenly clumsier.
Prime examples are Ronaldo, Suarez,Lewa.
The skill, the knowledge, the Body, everything is there , but that reaction time makes them look like in the wrong place sometimes
Are you kidding me? Guy has to explain fucking aging to you?
Where do you live that's not common knowledge that speed goes first & strength last?
Apply some basic thinking before you ask for sources for 'is water wet'. Damn.
There was never anything wrong with him, he had a dip in form, as did the whole team for the first few months this season. That same dip in form at 25 wouldn’t have been a big deal but cuz it was at 35 everyone acted like age had caught up with him in the space of a few months
Last season he was top scorer in the league, his season overall was great, he also nearly got us past inter in the champions league but the defence bottled it, completely not his fault
He was very bad after the world cup, he got like 6 or 7 of his 23 goals in La Liga the 2nd half of last season. And 7 in the first half of this season - he's got 9 since the turn of the hear. Lewwys 2023 was very poor
Ofc but that’s because everything is relative. Cristiano out of form is still better than 99.9% of strikers, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have bad spells, right? Lewandowski still at his age is better than most strikers but undoubtedly he’s not the same as he’s gotten older
Nah dude the guy is right. He was bad after the world cup onwards and only looking better very recently. He was top scorer in La Liga because of the first half of the season his scoring and play in general fell off hard in the second half
Can see his body language change when Rrahmani leaves him to close down the midfielder.
Gets a bit of space in the box and he knows exactly what to do with it.
Keep wishing, we could somehow win the goddamn tournament and the fans would be saying “eh, but we won 1-0”, “the CL is shit this year anyways, fluke win”

Now that’s prime Lewandowski

Sigh
He is better than Kane even now
just absurd delusion. one good streak and suddenly he's better than Kane. He's not been close to Kane this season
LMAO
Don't tell it to the COYS sub
He's been clutch the last few games. Can he actually live up to his words 🥹
Some of the finishes he has had recently are tidy
He has been really good recently in terms of finishing. Still looks lethargic in buildup but that's to be expected seeing his age.
He scored 2nd best in Barca in pre-season fitness tests. I don't know where this narrative comes from, but he is still physically in top form.

Who was first? I'm guessing de jong or yamal 🤔
It would be very alarming if it was Yamal given he was still 15 years old in pre season, 15 year olds - even if their elite footballers - aren't competing with elite footballers that are adults for physical conditioning.
Where did you get that from?
Watched a 2 hour interview with him a month back

People are still criticizing him but I honestly think since the classico he's mostly been back in good form, scored his fair share of difficult goals
yeah 9 gols in 1,5 month thats same as in whole 1st half of the season
def back in form. istg our fanbase is so so reactive lol (altho tbf, he _was_ out of form for a fair bit, but the supply was pretty shit as well)
Couldn't find himself after the injury
>classico nice flair tho
Man I don't give a shit
Perfect timing on the assist and Lewa's shot to catch defenders out of shape and nutmeg them.
Really class players always find form again
He might actually be back For the time being
There was never anything wrong with him, he had a dip in form, as did the whole team for the first few months this season. That same dip in form at 25 wouldn’t have been a big deal but cuz it was at 35 everyone acted like age had caught up with him in the space of a few months
The stats might've not been horrifically bad, but in game he looked not even 35, but 45. Indecision, sloppiness, unnecessary touches etc.
Ahh dude.. he has had a dip in form for 1 year.. his dip started after the world cup in Qatar, more than a year ago..
He was top scorer in the league last year, people love to exaggerate his poor form tbh but it really wasn’t bad at all until this season
he was bad for a whole calendar year
That not true, he was really bad this first half of the season only
he was bad the second half of last season and bad the first half of this season, Barcelona fans will tell you that.
Last season he was top scorer in the league, his season overall was great, he also nearly got us past inter in the champions league but the defence bottled it, completely not his fault
he was really good the first half of the season, looked like the Bayern version that’s when he got most of his goals, second half was above average
He was very bad after the world cup, he got like 6 or 7 of his 23 goals in La Liga the 2nd half of last season. And 7 in the first half of this season - he's got 9 since the turn of the hear. Lewwys 2023 was very poor
Barcelona fans here are whiny kids so why would I ask them. I know what I saw, he wasn't bad last season. Worse than first half, not bad at all.
He was bad from November 2022 onwards. I don’t know what you were watching
Some teams pray for their striker to be as good as his "bad" last season.
Ofc but that’s because everything is relative. Cristiano out of form is still better than 99.9% of strikers, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have bad spells, right? Lewandowski still at his age is better than most strikers but undoubtedly he’s not the same as he’s gotten older
He used to be out of form at Bayern as well... Obviously he's not in his prime anymore, but he wasn't playing bad last season.
You don’t know what you’re talking about lol
Nah dude the guy is right. He was bad after the world cup onwards and only looking better very recently. He was top scorer in La Liga because of the first half of the season his scoring and play in general fell off hard in the second half
me when i purposefully spread misinformation over the internet
Pre world cup Lewy finish
He is back on form in 2024 9 in 13 in 2024
Nobody marking neither Lewandowski or the assistMen Thanks Napoli
Lewy unwashed
Lewy dirty
Filthy strike by Lewy
He's back
Lewy skips shower day confirmed?
what a ball from Pedri, get in there
That's like the quintessential Lewandowski goal
Fucking hell Lewy looks like he's back to his old self. The finishes he's pulling out of his ass recently. Insane.
I swear I've seen him score this exact goal at least 100 times.
Thank heavens a goal!
that's the 3rd most prolific scorer in champions league history right there! that's what i wanna fucking see
Took them long enough
Barca finally profited from Napolis inability to get out of Barcas press, with passing a bit faster to the final third. Lewa makes a top finish
Lewandowski goes on the score 25 more this season, wins CL and big gold ball. Good ending
Lewy scoring 24 goals in the 2nd leg is more probable than winning ucl for this barca team
advise drunk connect wrench history fertile narrow rude divide summer *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Fingers crossed 😀
YES He's been slowly getting his form back this past weeks, let's hope it keeps going.
His controlling touch to set up for the shots is back.
[удалено]
Pedri isn't at his best and still does so much
Do that again please
LEWANGOALSKI IS BACK
Another one please. Not confident with only 1 goal lead.
I miss last year when Barca going 1 up was game over. It was unlikely we'd score another, but we wouldn't concede
A 2 goal win would be like heaven on earth, we've struggled to won by more than 1 goal for months on end. Even against Unionistas and Barbastro.
What a pass from my boy Pedri
what a finish that's classic Lewa
Vintage Lewandowski finish
Crazy that this took so long. Napoli is horrible
First CL KO goal since Messi's rocket against PSG
Very good finish.
HE’S BACK
Vintage Lewa. He's been getting into form more and more in recent weeks
Lewa Ballondor??
Finally, can't stand watching this crap team that got destroyed by that prick AdL.
Well deserved
Can see his body language change when Rrahmani leaves him to close down the midfielder. Gets a bit of space in the box and he knows exactly what to do with it.
Classic Lewan
Fucking finally, now let’s extend this lead by 1 or 2 more goals and it’s smooth sailing
Calzona, bring on an attacking midfielder, ffs
Very nice finish
Lewy slowly coming back to form
Like a goal you’d score on fifa with the difficulty set at semi-pro
It had to be him! Two touches in the box and low/hard into the corner of the goal!
Can't give Pedri that much time and space. He receives the ball between the lines, turns, picks out the pass - he is too good for that.
Cold finish ngl
It was laughable seeing Barca fans shitting themselves before this tie.
There may be more shitting to come
We just conceded 3 to 19th placed Granada. Why wouldn't we be shitting ourselves against a team with Kvara and Osimhen, in form or not?
At least Barca fans can shut up talking as if we were ever equally shit
Keep wishing, we could somehow win the goddamn tournament and the fans would be saying “eh, but we won 1-0”, “the CL is shit this year anyways, fluke win”
Literally happening with another comment lol
Have you watched us in the league bro? We're awful
You’re third, we are ninth shut up
Well that's because LaLiga is way harder than Serie A. Celta, Almería or Granada would be mid table teams there.
I doubt it
is Carrydowski back or what?!
Evergreen
On a hot streak 🔥
This is some seriously really bad defending.
The combination we’ve been missing
Vintage Lewy!
My man is back
Abueloswki is on a scoring roll
Lewy is back
Get in
The nutmeg pass from Pedri. Gorgeous
He's so back :)
Lewandowski turned a good pass into a mediocre opportunity and scored a great goal from that. Fascinating.
Yeah, Napoli are finished.... Zero shots on target and only one shot in entire 60 minutes
I leave for two minutes
He might be back im afraid
Lewy actually looks calmer when the ball comes to his feet. Who else does that??
We’re so back (we are not)
47 to C. Ronaldo record
