Lewandowski once again proved his worth for FC Barcelona. The 34-year-old Polish super striker scored the only goal of the evening. It was his ninth goal in seven games. With that, he broke a record, because no player could provide those same statistics in the 21st century.
Lewandowski only needed eighteen shots on target for that. So half of his attempts are hit. In addition, the attacker was the first player since Lionel Messi to score six league games in a row for the Catalan club.
Barça, which missed Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay, among others, did not flash against the midfielder who undertook more attempts but only had 28 percent of the ball. It turned out to be enough for FC Barcelona to take over the lead from Real Madrid. The goal difference: 19-1.
The Royal plays against Osasuna on Sunday evening (9 p.m.) and can regain first place with a win.
