Marco van Basten, the iconic striker who dazzled for Ajax, AC Milan and the Dutch national team, has shared his critical opinions on the recent performances of Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski.
Despite leading the La Liga scoring charts with 16 goals, the Barcelona veteran has faced a dry spell, failing to score in his last three games.
These matches include two League matches against Leganés and Atlético de Madrid, as well as a Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Van Basten’s criticism
Van Basten, now a commentator on Dutch television, did not hold back when talking about Lewandowski’s missed opportunity against Atlético Madrid.
The opportunity came in the 76th minute, with Ferran Torres providing an assist, but Lewandowski was unable to take advantage of the chance against goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
This moment, according to the former Dutch star, exemplifies the Polish forward’s problems in recent games.
“Robert Lewandowski’s missed opportunity makes me want to cry” He said quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

However, Van Basten’s criticism was not limited to Lewandowski. He also focused his attention on Diego Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid and his approach during the match.
The Dutchman expressed his disappointment with the quality of play displayed by Atlético, suggesting that their performance lacked ambition and did not reflect the standards expected of a top-level team.
“Of course Atlético de Madrid is happy, but they should be ashamed of playing so poorly” he added.
While Lewandowski has been a reliable goalscorer for Barcelona this season, his current form has raised questions, especially in key games where his contributions are most needed.
Needless to say, Lewandowski will undoubtedly look to bounce back in the coming games as pressure mounts to recapture his scoring touch and prove his worth in crucial moments.
