What Can Robert Lewandowski Bring to FC Barcelona's Attack?

"Barcelona needed a goalscorer. He is a machine that scores goals. If you look at his stats he guarantees goals and every team needs a player like that. With him, Ansu Fati and Aubameyang we have that."  says Joan Laporta - FC Barcelona President. 

Barcelona have been struggling to score goals since their top two gunmen, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, left the club. The Spanish giants have been trying to compensate for the departure of their stars by bringing in attackers but to no avail. Memphis Depay who finished as the club's top scorer in La Liga last season with only 12 goals is the player with the least goals scored in La Liga for the Blaugranas this century since Ronaldinho and Saviola scored 14 goals each in the 03/04 La Liga season.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showed glimpses of what an elite striker can do for Xavi's Barça by scoring 13 goals in the second half of the season in all competitions. Perhaps the coach might have requested for another elite striker because of his tendency of missing chances and also some deficiencies in his gameplay

Barcelona signed the Polish striker for €45 million plus €5 million add-ons which will be difficult to gain as speculated. FC Barcelona now have in their corner a consummate model of a modern-day striker. 8 Bundesliga titles, 1 UCL, 1 UEFA Super Cup,1 Club World cup, 3 DFB- Pokal, and many countless accolades, Robert joins Barça as a very decorated and well-established player.  The two-times FIFA World Best winner scored 344 goals in 375 appearances for the Bavarians which places him 2nd as the all-time top scorers of the club.
