The return of the Pichichi! Lewandowski prepares to shine against Levante

Good news for FC Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski was able to finish almost the entire training session with his teammates on Tuesday, only missing the final part. The Polish striker wants to get in shape to be able to arrive to this Saturday's match against Levante UD at the Ciutat de València Stadium.

The '9' of the 'Azulgrana' comes from overcoming a muscle injury in the biceps femoris of his left thigh that prevented him from being in the game in the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como and in the league debut against RCD Mallorca in Son Moix. In that sense, Hansi Flick hopes to be able to count on his goalscorer as soon as possible.

Lewandowski seeks to overcome his top scorer mark of 24/25

Lewandowski is the main goal card that Barça has had in recent seasons. In the last year, the contribution of the Polish gunner was fundamental, scoring 42 goals for the Blaugrana team. Of those 42 goals, 27 were for LaLiga, 3 for Copa del Rey, 1 for the Spanish Super Cup and 11 for the Champions League.

The experienced striker has one more year left on his contract with Barça and could be released at the end of the season. 25/26 may be the last dance of the '9' wearing the 'Culé' shirt.

In principle, the fans hope that he can once again exceed 30 goals this year, a record that the attacker has become accustomed to. 23/24 was the season where he had less scoring effectiveness, scoring 26 goals.

Ferran Torres will fight for the starting position with Lewandowski

The main alternative to Lewandowski has responded to Flick. Ferran Torres was the starter against Mallorca in Son Moix and took the opportunity by making himself present on the scoreboard. On the other hand, Marcus Rashford, the other possible substitute, made his debut with Barça by entering for Torres, having 22 minutes of participation.

The German coach always prioritizes the current situation of each player and, if he sees that the '9' is not 100% for the second match against Levante UD, it is unlikely that he will be the starting striker. So far, the 'Shark' takes the lead for his performance on the opening day.
