Barcelona would begin a new season with the addition of Robert Lewandowski headlining their attack in ushering in a full season for Xavi’s system to take shape. The 34-year-old Polish striker arrived with years of experience and achievements, but after switching from Bundesliga to La Liga for the sum of 42.5 million pounds, it is worth reflecting on what to expect from Lewandowski at Barca.
Historically, great poachers have always dorn the colours of the Catalan club ranging from the dexterity of Ronaldo to the Dutch headmaster Patrick Kluivert, moving on to the ruthlessness of Samuel Eto’o and the efficiency of David Villa passing the baton to the deadly Luis Suarez, Barcelona have never been short on great strikers in the blue and red colours.
It is along this path of great finishers that Robert Lewandowski would follow suit with the Pole having won the last two Golden Shoe prizes. As far as numbers go, Lewandowski has it in abundance. The current World Footballer of the year arrives at Barcelona having scored 35 goals in 34 matches for Bayern Munich last season, and his output is miles ahead of attackers currently in the Barcelona set-up.
