Robert Lewandowski's arrival at FC Barcelona took place on July 16, but in 2022. That summer transfer market was revolutionized thanks to the movements of a Barça that was looking for a way to strategically reinforce itself.
The native of Warsaw arrived at the Blaugrana team, coming from Bayern Munich in exchange for about 45 million euros plus 5 in variables, which ended up being one of the best investments of the Blaugrana team in recent years.
Lewandowski signed for Barça for three seasons plus an optional one, which will be 2025/26, and it is expected that after that he will end up leaving the Barcelona team. 'Lewy's' impact after his arrival was immediate, which is why he became one of the main figures of Barcelona.
Lewandowski, undisputed signing since his arrival
Robert's arrival at Barça provided an additional plus to a squad that in 2022 needed renewed leadership. That is why, in his first season and under the orders of Xavi Hernández, the '9' catapulted himself as one of the undisputed starters in the starting XI.
In his first season as a Blaugrana, corresponding to the 2022/23 season, Robert Lewandowski played a total of 46 official matches, in which he scored 33 goals distributed among all competitions: 23 in LaLiga, 5 in the Champions League, 2 in the Copa del Rey, another 2 in the Spanish Super Cup and 1 in the Europa League.
His remarkable record in the Spanish league earned him the 'Pichichi' as the top scorer in the competition. In addition, he provided 8 assists and his role was decisive in Barcelona's conquest of the domestic title and the national Super Cup.
As for Lewandowski's second season (2023/24) at Barça, it was not the best for either the team or the Pole, as the team did not win a single title and the '9's' scores dropped, although not drastically.
Thus, in this year, he participated in 49 matches, scoring 26 goals and providing 9 assists. Although his scoring record showed a slight decrease compared to the previous season, he maintained his influence in attack: he scored 19 times in LaLiga, 3 in the Champions League, 2 in the Copa del Rey and another 2 in the Spanish Super Cup.
The 2024/25 season was the best in relation to scoring figures and titles. The 'killer', in 52 matches, managed to convert 42 goals: 27 in LaLiga, 11 in the Champions League, 3 in the Copa del Rey and 1 in the Spanish Super Cup. He also gave 3 assists and finished the year winning the domestic treble.

Robert Lewandowski, the record man of Barcelona
Lewandowski, who arrived in the same transfer window as Raphinha, did so to leave his name etched in Barça's history, with the forward having been part of a series of sporting achievements that only other players like Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, and Samuel Eto'o had achieved.
In this context, the Polish '9', in the 2024/25 season, with 20 goals in 23 matches played, joined an exclusive group of players who have reached that figure in the same number of matches.
This mark had not been recorded since the 2019/20 season, when Messi also scored 20 goals in 23 matches. Since then, no footballer had managed to replicate such scoring performance.
For his part, Suárez managed to surpass the barrier of 20 goals in 23 league matches in three of his six seasons as a FC Barcelona player, and he did so consecutively between 2016 and 2018, while Eto'o reached the same mark in the 2008/09 season, scoring 23 goals in the same number of matches.
On the other hand, 'Lewy' is in eighteenth position of the top scorers in the history of Barça. He is behind Neymar (105 goals) and only 19 goals away from entering the top 10, something he can achieve in the next year, which is expected to be his last season as a Blaugrana.
Robert's legacy at Camp Barca is remarkable; not for nothing Barcelona continues to trust him, despite already being 36 years old, leaving a totally high bar for the next 9 who puts on the shirt of the Blaugrana team.
