Barcelona has coped remarkably well without their top scorer, Robert Lewandowski, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Despite his absence, the team has won all three games he missed in the 2024-25 season, including a 5-1 victory over Mallorca, a 5-0 win against Real Betis, and a 5-1 Copa del Rey triumph over Valencia. Key players like Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, and Raphinha stepped up in his absence.
For the games where Barcelona has been without Robert Lewandowski this season, the team has surprisingly managed to maintain strong performances. Lewandowski, the team’s top scorer with 40 goals in all competitions in 2024-25, missed just three games due to injury. These included a La Liga match against Real Mallorca, a Copa del Rey win over Real Betis, and another Copa del Rey clash against Valencia.
In each of these matches, Barcelona emerged victorious, scoring five goals in each encounter. The match against Mallorca ended 5-1, with goals from Ferran Torres, Frankie de Jong, Pau Victor, and a brace from Raphinha. Against Betis, Barcelona again won 5-0, with Dani Olmo, Gavi, Jules Koundé, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal on the scoresheet. The Copa del Rey match against Valencia also saw a 5-0 win, with Ferran Torres bagging a hat-trick and Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal also finding the net.
Despite missing their star player, Barcelona’s attack remained potent, thanks to contributions from Ferran Torres, Raphinha, Olmo, and Yamal. This ability to perform without Lewandowski has been a boost for Barcelona as they navigate crucial games in the final stretch of the season.
