Robert Lewandowski scored again against Villarreal. But he will miss FC Barcelona’s next game.
Bitter news for FC Barcelona and top striker Robert Lewandowski: The Polish international will miss the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals due to injury. The Catalans announced this on Sunday.
Accordingly, Lewandowski suffered a fracture to his left eye socket during Barça’s 4-1 win over Villarreal on Saturday. The game against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday comes too early for the 37-year-old. The chances for FC Barcelona in the Spanish cup competition are not good anyway. Coach Hansi Flick’s team lost the first leg in Madrid 0-4.
Lewandowski scored the final score in the win against Villarreal. It was the 11th goal of the season for the former FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund player. Barça is still in first place in the Spanish La Liga table, ahead of arch-rivals Real Madrid.
