Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland continue to stir up the leagues in Spain and England.
1700 kilometers apart, but still united in their (scoring) mission: Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland once again impressively demonstrated their extra class and caused enthusiasm in Spain and England. The two former Bundesliga goalscorers remain the attractions in La Liga and the Premier League. Especially at the troubled FC Bayern, the view should currently go enviously in the direction of Spain.
Your coaches at FC Barcelona and Manchester City, Xavi and Pep Guardiola, are running out of superlatives given the impressive goal series by Lewandowski and Haaland. “We knew he scored goals and made the difference. But his personal side surprised me. He brings a lot of humility, dedication and greed. He works very hard for the team to achieve his success,” said Xavi after the 3-0 win (2:0) against FC Elche, his “leader” and goal guarantor, who scored twice this time.
The former BVB attacker Haaland, who caused a sensation during the week with his spectacular kung fu goal against Dortmund in the premier class, was “only” successful once. “He just keeps going, that’s great,” Guardiola summed up the Norwegian’s performance in the 3-0 (2-0) win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Haaland scores 14 times in ten competitive games for Man City
For the 22-year-old Haaland it was already goal number 14 in the 10th competitive game for City, he continues to break all records on the island. A professional has never scored in his first four away games.
Lewandowski has eight goals in six league games for Barca. Thanks to the 34-year-old striker, who set numerous records in Munich, the Catalans’ hopes of their first championship since 2019 are back. “The enthusiasm of the fans is palpable,” emphasized Xavi.
And the protagonists? They act calmly on social media. Next to a picture with his well-known cheering fists pose, “Lewangoalski” wrote succinctly: “Job well done.” Haaland presented himself to his millions of followers with outstretched arms and the words: “Great performance before the international break. Happy that I scored again.”
