'We are going to win something!' - Robert Lewandowski backs Barcelona to claim silverware despite dismal campaign

Posted Friday, February 16, 2024 by Goal.com

WHAT HAPPENED?
Barca have endured a turbulent season, and nine months after claiming a first league title in four years, face a strong possibility of going a full campaign without any silverware. Despite their struggles, Lewandowski has insisted that his side can win a trophy.

WHAT LEWANDOWSKI SAID SAID
In a conversation picked up by Spanish publication Sport, the Polish striker asserted that the beleaguered Blaugrana can turn their season around: "We are in the ideal moment to change, to play better. First in Vigo and then the Champions League arrives... It is difficult to explain what is happening, because we conceded three goals against Granada, for example. We have had a long week to work and, as I said, we are in the perfect moment to change. I am sure that we are going to win many games and at the end of the season we are going to win something."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Lewandowski has endured a tricky season of his own. After finishing last season as the league's top scorer, his form has tailed off. The veteran forward has scored 10 and assisted five in domestic play so far.

WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA?
The Blaugrana face Celta Vigo this Saturday, and could pull within seven points of league leaders Real Madrid with a win. After that, they travel to the Diego Maradona stadium to face Napoli in the Champions League.
