According to reports, Lewandowski’s injury was terrible news for Barcelona’s comeback against Celta Vigo, where they won 4-3. The Polish striker left the field in the 77th minute due to discomfort in his left hamstring and is expected to miss the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid on April 26. His participation in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, scheduled for April 30 at Montjuïc, is also uncertain.

While the exact extent of his injury remains unclear, Barcelona will enter these matches without their key attacking player, who has scored 40 goals in all competitions this season. However, Sport claims that Hansi Flick’s team has delivered outstanding performances in matches where Lewandowski was absent, which could inspire them for upcoming fixtures.

So far this season, Lewandowski has only rested in three matches, and Barcelona’s stats in these games have been impressive, with high-scoring victories. The first match he missed was an away La Liga game against Mallorca, where the Catalans won 5-1. Raphinha scored twice, while Ferran Torres, Frenkie de Jong, and Pau Victor also found the net.

The other two matches without Lewandowski were in the Copa del Rey, where Barcelona secured big wins. First, in the Round of 16 against Real Betis (5-1), with goals from Gavi, Pedri, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal. Then, in the quarter-finals against Valencia (5-0), where Torres scored a hat-trick, and Fermín López and Yamal also contributed.

There is no doubt that Lewandowski’s absence at this crucial stage of the season will be a heavy blow to Barcelona. However, the Blaugrana have proven that they can win and score plenty of goals even without the Polish striker.
