Barcelona’s crisis has been resolved thanks to Robert Lewandowski. Against Villarreal, he stopped the team’s concerns and worries from escalating. The striker has either fully healed the Clasico wound with another brace and another outstanding performance.
In LaLiga Santander, the Polish international has scored 11 goals so far. There are 25 in all, including Barcelona.
The team was rotated by Xavi Hernandez. After the defeats in the Champions League and the Clasico disaster, he made adjustments to every line in an effort to find a response.

He innovated first. But he continued to engage in attack with the Polish international, his greatest and most potent tool. A new trident was chosen by the coach, consisting of Ansu Fati on the left, Lewandowski in the center, and right winger Ferran Torres.
With more minutes played with Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele, the former Bayern Munich star did not suffer from the switch of partners.
He was always engaged, alert, prepared, and in regular contact with all of his teammates—not just those on the front line. He continued to speak with Pedri and even took positions in some of their acts.
Lewandowski scored twice against Villarreal, bringing his season total for LaLiga Santander goals scored to 11. He has celebrated a total of 16, including five in the Champions League.
The two goals he scored against Villarreal at Camp Nou were his fourth in regular-season domestic play. Additionally, he scored twice each against Elche, Valladolid, and Real Sociedad.
A fresh start
Lewandowski ended the Catalans’ crisis and his brief goalscoring slump with his two goals against Celta and Real Madrid on Sunday. He had gone two matchdays without scoring before that.
The 34-year-old Pole has only gone completely blank in three games: the loss to Los Blancos, the draw with Rayo Vallecano on the opening matchday, and the Galicians.
