Lewandowski's return to form augurs well for Barca

Robert Lewandowski's form in the entirety of 2023 was very, very bad. Especially in the first part of this season, this was something that massively hurt Barcelona. He struggled to finish and his build up play was often even worse.

In 2024 however, something has changed. The Polish striker seems sharper and is making a difference. In 18 games this year, he has scored 11 times and assisted 4. Against Atletico Madrid in particular, he rolled back the years, putting in a match winning performance, with a direct contribution in all 3 of the goals. With the business end of the season approaching, this is great news for Xavi's side.
