Lewandowski Leads Barcelona's Champions League Charge Ahead of Dortmund Return

Robert Lewandowski’s stunning form has been pivotal to Barcelona’s strong start under Hansi Flick, with the striker netting 23 goals in 21 games this season. Heading back to Dortmund, where he rose to prominence, Lewandowski is Barcelona's top scorer in both Spain and Europe, with seven goals in the Champions League.

Despite his brilliance, Lewandowski’s age has impacted his ability to maintain Barcelona’s high pressing game, leading to recent defensive lapses. Barcelona's recent struggles, including a loss to Las Palmas and a draw at Celta Vigo, will be under scrutiny as they face Dortmund, who trail them by goal difference in the group stage.

Flick, however, continues to back Lewandowski, praising his professionalism and fitness. The Polish striker will be key to Barcelona’s hopes as they seek a strong performance in Germany.
