Barcelona decision to sell Aubameyang and then replace it with Lewandowski was very correct, Lewandowski was able to answer Xavi trust in him by helping Barcelona win the La Liga title race as well as the Super Cup. Lewandowski was also the top scorer last season which made Benzema fail to win the top scorer title twice in a row.
I completely agree that Lewandowski was one of the best signings for Barcelona last season, even though I was in a rival team. Lewandowski has become the best striker in La Liga in just one season, which is a great achievement for an aging striker like him. Benzema and La Liga have to admit his prowess, he was the top scorer of La Liga last season.
But as for next season, I hope Lewandowski will never be the same again. He can still be expected to score goals, but he can't hold that record much longer without being substituted. Next season we no longer have Benzema, but other players should be able to replace him to compete on the top scorer board.
Robert Lewandowski will soon be 35 years old and well as he gets older maybe his performance will also decrease. Because age still can't lie to the stamina of the players. We can see a decline in the performance of great players like CR7, Messi and Benzema as they get older. And Benzema is now going to an Arab club (Al-Ittihad) because he may realize that he is no longer young and it will be difficult for him to compete with young players who can still continue to improve from season to season. Like at Real Madrid last season, Benzema hasn't played much due to injury but a young player like Vinicius jr can replace him well.
I think so with Robert Lewandowski maybe this season he won't be as good as last season either. But if the 34-year-old player can consistently show his loyalty in Barcelona's attack then I will really appreciate it.
