Stats show Barcelona star forward shows no mercy in Spanish Super Cup matches | OneFootball

Barcelona veteran Robert Lewandowski has started the year on a high note with a brace against Barbastro, and he will now look to carry this impressive form into the upcoming Spanish Super Cup.

This tournament has proven to be one where Lewandowski shines, showcasing some of his best performances in a Barcelona shirt. In fact, to put his impact into perspective, Lewandowski has scored in every Spanish Super Cup match he has played in so far.

Lewandowski’s record in the Spanish Super Cup

In January 2023, he was instrumental in the semi-final against Real Betis, scoring a goal in the 2-2 draw, before converting his penalty in the shootout to help Barcelona progress.

In the final, he was once again a key player, delivering an excellent performance against Real Madrid.

His clever positioning and clinical finish, following a brilliant assist from Gavi, helped set Barcelona on course for a memorable victory in the El Clasico.

Even when Barcelona’s overall performance was lacking, Lewandowski stood out. In the previous year’s semi-final, he opened the scoring against Osasuna, with young talent Lamine finishing the job.

In the final, he remained one of the few players who kept fighting. A stunning volley just before halftime was a reminder of his class, as Barcelona struggled but Lewandowski continued to show his quality in front of goal.

Heading into the Spanish Super Cup this year, Lewandowski will be full of confidence after his recent brace against Barbastro.

He is determined to prove himself, especially after some critical voices emerged following his missed opportunities in matches against Leganes and Atlético Madrid.

Moreover, Lewandowski’s record against Athletic Club is strong, with three goals and an assist in just five appearances.

This history gives him a further reason to be optimistic as he prepares to take on the Basque side in this prestigious tournament.
