Robert Lewandowski reveals what Barcelona need to win every match | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are preparing themselves for the El Clasico final in the Spanish Super Cup. Having already beaten Real Madrid once so far this season, the confidence must be flowing through the veins for Hansi Flick’s men.

The German coach is also smart enough to ensure that his team doesn’t get over complacent and understand the threat that Real Madrid pose and make no mistake, Los Blancos will be keen on exacting revenge for what happened earlier.

One player who will understand exactly what it means to play in such a high-pressure situation and will want to continue his scoring form against Real Madrid in particular is Robert Lewandowski. The Pole is crucial to Barcelona’s chances tonight.

Having started off the season with exceptional consistency, the last few weeks have been difficult for Robert Lewandowski who has failed to put away a few chances that a player of his caliber would be expected to 11 times out of 10.

However, there is no doubting his importance to the team. Speaking ahead of the game as quoted by Mundo Deportivo, Lewandowski acknowledged the threat that Carlo Ancelotti’s team pose in the finals.

“They have incredible players. Sometimes they don’t control the game, but they know how to wait for their moment to strike. We have to be ready for that.”

Lewandowski then went on to speak about something even more important, highlighting what Barcelona need to start doing to ensure they win games at a more consistent rate. The veteran said:

“We have incredible potential, but mentality is key. To win every match, we also need a bit of luck.”

Many times in the recent past, Barcelona fans have seen the team crumble in high-pressure situations during knock-out games, most noticeable in the Champions League and Lewandowski is spot on when he talks about mentality.

However, the team does seem to have improved in this regard under Hansi Flick. So far this season, they have already beaten Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund and the mentality does seem to be changing for the better. Let’s wait and see how things play out in the Clasico tonight.
