Barcelona star sc,olds Lewandowski for his performance against Atletico Madrid
Reports have revealed that a Barcelona player criticized Robert Lewandowski for wasting goal-scoring opportunities during their recent La Liga match against Atletico Madrid. The game ended in a dramatic 2-1 victory for Atletico Madrid, who made a comeback after being one goal down at the “Montjuic” stadium in the 18th round of the league.
According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, during the final minutes of the first half, with Barcelona leading 1-0, the team adopted a more defensive approach, allowing Atletico Madrid to attack more frequently. While Barcelona had the upper hand, they focused on holding their lead and waiting for counterattack opportunities.
From the 35th to the 45th minute, Lewandowski, who was supposed to lead the pressing effort, positioned himself near midfield. This allowed Clement Lenglet to push forward with the ball and operate almost like an additional midfielder, causing problems for Barcelona’s midfield. Gavi noticed this flaw and, frustrated, raised his hands, signaling Lewandowski to stop Lenglet’s advance. This scenario repeated several times, intensifying Gavi’s frustration.
