Without Nico Schlotterbeck, the BVB defense in Barcelona is completely overwhelmed. The main reason: striker Robert Lewandowski.
Memured and disappointed, the BVB professionals crept off the field after the lesson. “We didn’t play a good game today. Barcelona was a different level today. We have to play better defensively at this level,” said Dortmund’s captain Emre Can Can after the 0: 4 (0: 1) defeat in the Champions League quarter-finals at FC Barcelona and the one connected with the previous year’s finalist.
Without the seriously injured Nico Schlotterbeck, the BVB defensive was played dizzy. In the Olympic Stadium, Königsklassen-Toptorjäger Raphhinha (25th minute), young star Lamine Yamal (77th) and especially the former BVB goalty ore Robert Lewandowski with a double pack (48th/66th) used adventurous positional errors ice cold. Lewandowski later cleared the silver ball for the player of the game.
In general, Lewandowski: The Pole, who played in Dortmund from 2010 to 2014, scored an incredible 29 goals in 28 games against BVB (27 of them in 26 games in the FC Bayern jersey). No other club gave Lewandowski more goals in his career.
“I know that a lot of people talk about my age, but I want to play at the highest level for several years,” said the striker before the game kicked off on Wednesday evening, who sees an end to his good performances: “I think that if you look at the statistics, there is no difference a few years ago.” His statement underline 40 goals and three goals from 45 competitive games this season. Finally, only Lionel Messi achieved similar odds in the Blaugrana jersey.
In view of the class of Poland, Barcelona’s trainer Hansi Flick recently broke one of his own rules. He does not like to talk about individual professionals, but Lewandowski is simply “a special player,” said the 60-year-old last at DAZN. “I gave him my full trust at the beginning of the season, he scored decisive goals this season.” Like the two now in the first leg against BVB.
The second leg will take place next Tuesday. Robert Lewandowski will be in the spotlight again against his favorite opponent – and want to make the move into the semi -finals perfectly.
