Lewandowski too alone: Barça need more of the rest of the strikers

The FC Barcelona seems that only it will win the parties if it marks Robert Lewandowski. If the culés can not create sufficient occasions for the '9', or if the Pole does not have the spaces, there is not Barcelona victory this season. Like this of simple results the dependency that the team of Xavi Hernández has by the goals of the forward, author of 12 of the 24 official goals between LaLiga and the Champions League.

'Lewy' Has converted exactly the half of the so many culés in this start of course. The Barça has remained to zero in three of the 10 meetings contested to date and there was not another forward, or another footballer, that could go out to the rescue to help him against the Ray Vallecano (0-0), the Bayern (2-0) and the Inter (1-0). If Lewandowski is not able to mark, the Barça does not seem able to direct the party.

The consequences have been the two defeats in Champions that leave to the Catalan group between the sword and the wall to happen to eighth, and forced to not yielding more, especially next Wednesday in the Camp Nou in front of the 'nerazzurri'. The rest of forwards of the staff is not answering to level goleador as it would have to be. Ansu Fati (318 minutes) and Ousmane Dembélé (725') are the immediate perseguidores of Lewandowski (809'), but with alone two so many up to now.

In the case of the French already are the same that put in all the past season, although they keep on being insufficient for the level that requires the Barça in attack, especially in important appointments. By behind they are with a goal the others attacker: Raphinha (487'), Ferran Torres (238') and Memphis Depay (131'). Between all the midfield players, add only three so many between Pedri (716'), Frenkie of Jong (470') and Franck Kessie (247').

Dembélé And Raphinha have been the two more used attackers by Xavi in this start of course, by what the signals fall on them in front of the fault of goal of the team, further of Lewandowski. Ansu Fati, still far of his best version, has been to the height of the French and the Brazilian, by what could begin to feel the pressure if they continue happening the parties and are not able to go up his quota goleadora. Depay By his part could be a big benefited of this situation, beginning to see a lot of more minutes.

The figures do not mention

Difficult is to mark if only two finish go between the three sticks as it happened the Tuesday, a tendency that is aggravating in this edition of the Champions. In the last five exits in the continental tournament only has put a goal the Barça, l of Ansu in Kyiv (0-1) in October of 2021. To all this it is necessary to add the defensive fragility in Europe where the Bayern and Inter beat almost in the first that had to a Ter Stegen imbatido in League from does five days (534') but unable to leave in zero his goal in Champions.
