Lewandowski, with 25 goals in La Liga and on his way to winning his second Pichichi Trophy, may miss the crucial final due to a potential thigh muscle injury sustained in the match against Celta Vigo (4-3 victory). This situation leaves Flick with two main options: Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, two players in excellent form who can fill the void left by the Polish star.

Ferran Torres: A Striker with Impressive Stats

Ferran, who scored the first goal against Celta, is Flick’s first choice. This Valencia-born player, with his style of play based on finding spaces and impressive stats (a goal every 88 minutes), is a guarantee for Barcelona’s attack. With 17 goals in all competitions and 10 in La Liga, he is having his best season at Barcelona. Torres, who won the Copa del Rey with Valencia in 2019 but did not play in the final, has a personal motivation to shine in this final. Despite criticism from some fans at the start of the season, his stats, especially compared to other Spanish strikers like Oihan Sancet and Ayoze Pérez, are unmatched.

Dani Olmo: A Versatile Option

If Flick wants a different option, Dani Olmo comes into play. This player, who recently returned from injury, can play as a striker or a false nine, a role he has excelled in for the Spanish national team. Olmo proved his impact in the match against Celta by scoring and winning the penalty that led to the 4-3 victory. With his high football IQ and adaptability, Olmo is a reliable option for Flick. If selected, this would be Olmo’s first start in over a month (since March 16 against Atlético Madrid).

Flick’s Selection Challenge

Both players, Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, are in excellent form and ready to fill Lewandowski’s shoes. Torres, with his impressive goal-scoring record and Copa del Rey experience, and Olmo, with his creativity and impact in crucial moments, are ideal options. Flick’s choice, whether Torres with his direct approach or Olmo with his creative style, could determine the outcome of this crucial final against Real Madrid.
