It's the most total crisis at Barça!
Still sparkling this Wednesday evening, Robert Lewandowski once again carried a Barça in full swing on the pitch of Red Star Belgrade, signing another clear and flawless victory in the Champions League (2-5). Author of a double in ten minutes, the 98e et 99e achievements of his career in C1, the Polish striker was however replaced at 79e of play by his coach Hansi Flickunaware that his player was only one pawn away from reaching the 100 goal mark. “If I had known it before, I might not have replaced it,” seemed to regret the German coach at the end of the meeting.
“It's my fault, but we also have to think about the next game. Today he scored two important goals, including the first to give us a 2-1 lead. He was very important to us,” added Flick at a press conference. There is no doubt that the prolific number 9 will not hold it against his trainer, he who should not take long to reach this symbolic milestone of 100 goals in the premier competition: at present, only Cristiano Ronaldo (141 buts) et Lionel Messi (129 buts) have stacked more caramels than Lewy in the Champions League.
It will be a different story against Brendan Chardonnet on November 26.
