Barcelona’s star forward is ready for the Super Cup final after an injury scare against Athletic Club

On a night full of excitement for Barcelona following their victory over Athletic Club, there was a moment of concern when Robert Lewandowski was seen limping after the match.

The match had ended with victory for Hansi Flick’s team, but as the players left the stadium, Lewandowski’s condition quickly caught the attention of those present.

Despite limping, the Polish forward assured that it was nothing serious. When asked about his condition, Lewandowski confirmed that he was fine and suggested that the problem was just a minor knock.

He expressed his confidence that, barring unexpected changes, he will be prepared for the next final, where Barcelona will compete for the title against the winner of the match between Mallorca and Real Madrid.

A disappointing night for Lewandowski

Regarding his performance in the match against Athletic Club, Lewandowski had a mixed result. Although he played 73 minutes before being replaced by Ferran Torres, he showed signs of his quality.

The striker was effective in holding up the ball and linking play with his teammates, including some impressive interactions with the centre-backs and offloads that helped advance the ball.

However, he also struggled with his accuracy at times, with some misplaced passes and poor control, which was disappointing given the high expectations surrounding him.

Furthermore, Lewandowski missed a golden opportunity when Raphinha set up a perfect pass for him, but he failed to convert the opportunity.

Ready to play the final

It should be noted that Lewandowski had recently ended a three-match goal drought with a brace against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey.

Unfortunately, against Athletic Club he was unable to score, but he hopes to extend his tally in the final.

Now, according to journalist Javier Miguel, despite the limp, Lewandowski’s injury has been nothing more than a minor blow and he will be 100% fit for the decisive final against Mallorca or Real Madrid.
