Barcelona secured a valuable 2-1 victory at the Metropolitano Stadium in a decisive match in the Spanish league race. Among the standout players were forwards Marcus Rashford and Lewandowski, along with full-back João Cancelo, who assisted the decisive goal for the Polish player. The trio demonstrated their ability to shine in crucial moments, enhancing the likelihood of their continued presence in the Catalan team's ranks next season, according to "Mundo Deportivo."

Rashford took over the left-wing position to compensate for Raphinha's absence and scored a crucial goal that restored confidence in coach Hans Flick. This was the 300th goal under the German coach's supervision with Barcelona. The club is closely monitoring the player's performance in recent weeks to determine whether to activate the final purchase option from Manchester United, as his continuation is linked to his contribution to scoring decisive goals.

As for João Cancelo, he has an additional year on his contract with Al Hilal Saudi Club, and Barcelona hopes to get his club's approval to facilitate his signing. Cancelo has delivered an outstanding offensive performance, surpassing the other full-backs on the team, and has significantly contributed during the absence of Balde and Koundé.

It is noted that Al Hilal valued the player at around 15 million euros, but they showed interest in signing Marc Casado, which could facilitate Cancelo's transfer, as he gave up part of his salary to return to Barcelona in the winter transfer market.

As for Lewandowski, his future is still under discussion within the club, as his contract expires at the end of the season. Although the club wishes for him to stay for an additional year, the renewal would be at a lower level than the current contract. A meeting is scheduled soon with his agent to discuss his future, knowing that the player and his family are happy living in Barcelona. However, he needs to carefully consider the offer, especially with clubs like Juventus, Milan, Chicago Fire, and some Saudi clubs monitoring his situation.

With two months remaining until the end of the season, Barcelona still needs to make a final decision regarding the continuation of Rashford, Cancelo, and Lewandowski, after they delivered outstanding performances at the Metropolitano Stadium, proving their worthiness to stay.
