Lewandowski will never be able to play alone without the support of his friends so blaming himself personally is not appropriate. Barcelona is experiencing setbacks this season and although the condition is not too bad, it is quite affecting the players' performance because this club has big names that are constantly talked about by many people. Apart from the attack line, the condition of the middle and back players is also problematic because there is no balance that can give the team victory.

It's different because Real Madrid has good finances and they can buy finished players without having to wait for players to be promoted. Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties and this cannot be done by them so whether they want to or not they rely on young players who have just received promotion.

I owe you an explanation regarding Barcelona's condition. The depth of Barcelona's squad this season is not too different from last season, but the impact of player injuries has caused their performance to decline. Araujo, Kounde, Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha are not in their best form after injury, even De Jong is not so good.

Barcelona does not have a right-back and Xavi tends to rotate Kounde and Araujo in that position. Sometimes both of their performances are good and Barcelona can finish the match according to plan, but in some matches the two of them may not appear impressive. That is a problem that Xavi has to solve, but of course this is not an easy job when some people really want Barcelona to appear without any problems.
