Eight minutes were enough for Robert Lewandowski to score his first goal of the 2025/26 preseason with FC Barcelona. This time, the victim was FC Seoul, a team that saw how the Warsaw striker, at 36 years of age, opened the scoring at the Seoul World Cup Stadium with a typical '9' goal with a scoring instinct.

The goal of a classic '9': pure opportunism from Lewandowski

Lewy, like a goal optimist, took advantage of a ball that was left up for grabs in the area, after Lamine Yamal unleashed a left-footed shot from the right side of the area that ended up crashing into the right post of the goal defended by Kang Hyeon-mu. With the ball in his possession, the Pole did not hesitate for a moment to put the finishing touch with his left leg, before the impotent gaze of two of his markers.

A score worthy of a true goal poacher and a finishing nine, of those who accompany the play even though, at first, they were not the protagonists of it. This was seen in the development of the action, which began after a loss of possession by FC Seoul in the Barça half, which led to a play orchestrated in a masterful way by Dani Olmo and which, at first, Lamine could not materialize in a timely manner, as the '9' did.

A goal that, in the end, would end up being the only contribution to the scoreboard of a Lewandowski who was seen to be extremely mobile in the attack against FC Seoul. In addition, Lewy did not hesitate to drop back a bit to join in the build-up play, constantly connecting with his teammates in the 45 minutes he was on the pitch.
