Robert Lewandowski is going through one of the toughest periods since his arrival at Barcelona, despite being one of the most clinical strikers in European football. According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport," the frustration experienced by the Polish forward is starting to raise doubts within the club, especially after a series of matches in which he has not performed at his usual level.

Lewandowski, the third highest scorer in the history of the UEFA Champions League with 105 goals behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, was searching on Tuesday for his first goal in the current edition of the tournament. He actually scored at the start of Barcelona's match against Eintracht Frankfurt, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside by Raphinha, which only added to his frustration.

The newspaper confirmed that Hans Flick gave the Polish player full confidence by starting him despite Ferran Torres' impressive performance, who scored a hat-trick against Real Betis. However, Lewandowski failed to capitalize on the opportunity, showing limited offensive involvement and slower movement than usual, despite his role in creating space.

The veteran striker, who missed four matches this season due to injury, has played 17 games in the 2025/2026 season and scored only 8 goals, averaging less than 0.50 goals per game—a rate unusual for him. According to Sport statistics, Lewandowski scored 19 goals in the first 17 matches last season, meaning he now has 11 fewer goals compared to the same period last year.

All of his goals this season have come in La Liga, while he has yet to score in the Champions League, a competition in which he is known for shining. Despite the decline in his numbers, the newspaper emphasizes that the 37-year-old star has the experience and ability to turn things around, as he has done on many previous occasions.

The report confirmed that the season is still long and that Lewandowski is capable of returning to his best form, but current doubts within Barcelona are growing as his continental goal drought continues.
