Barcelona's likelihood of clinching the Champions League title in the upcoming season, as per Lewandowski's assessment.
Scored, but Not Sufficient: That's what Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona's star striker, had to say about the recent Champions League clash against Inter Milan, where the Catalans suffered a heartbreaking 6-7 aggregate loss in the semis.
Lewandowski believes the pivotal moment was the draw in the first leg. His opinion? Barcelona played some fine football, but the quick trick of conceding two goals in the second leg made it a tough climb to the final, despite the team netting three more goals.
"Our game was better overall," Lewandowski stated pithily, "but the team lacked a bit of balance and focus."
Gearing up for the 2025/2026 season, Lewandowski is optimistic about Barcelona's title claims, provided they remain injury-free and appear on the pitch at their best for those decisive matches. For both him and the club, the Champions League title remains a prime objective.
