Lewandowski is now 35 years old. Lewandowski should not be expected to consistently perform well in every match at this age. Still, Lewandowski is performing well enough. He managed to score 8 goals and 4 assists in 17 matches. However, Barcelona's overall performance is still dependent on Lewa. Xavi should try to reduce this dependency. Barcelona have a lot of talented young players. But Barcelona is not getting good performance from young players. If Xavi can use these young players properly I think Barcelona's overall performance will improve. And once again the Barcelona team will be able to dominate La Liga.
The Polish striker has scored three goals in his last three appearances which shows that he is still an asset to Barcelona. But a team that wants to compete for trophies shouldn't depend on a 35-year-old striker. Robert Lewandowski will not be effective as a young striker, so coach Xavi should take note of it. The Polish striker commented on Instagram that the loss was unacceptable and he also apologised to the fans for the defeat. Xavi also tendered his apology to the fans and he promised that they would return stronger. I doubt if Barcelona will ever be able to compete with Real Madrid with the quality of players they have. The financial problems they are going through are affecting them, getting some new players would have helped improve the team.
