Lupon arrival of Lewandowski to Barcelona It was a joy for a hobby that was missing a franchise player since Leo Messi left. A breath of optimism that was endorsed with the good entry of the Pole into the team. His start was spectacular with a goal average that was more than one per game. There was then talk of the team’s dependence on the Pole.
That is why there was so much fear in the culerada when they fell three games of sanction for his gesture in Pamplona to Gil Manzano. The club tried to delay it as long as possible, even resorting to ordinary justice. Despite the importance of the striker and some spectacular numbers that portended the worst without his presence, at the moment of truth the blow was not so hard.

Subscribed to 1-0
However, again Barcelona achieved two wins without the Pole. And again both for the minimum. The team seems subscribed to 1-0 when the Pole is not there.
