It is not a problem for Lewandowski to play in any competition. he is one very sharp striker. even though he is already 34 years old, his work ethic cannot be doubted. as for Barcelona who have a playoff game in the Europa League, Lewandowski is very well prepared. after all, he had chosen Barcelona as the team he would defend. he is well aware that his career with Barcelona will experience obstacles in his first season. and sure enough, Barcelona was knocked out of the Champions League. I'm sure Barcelona will be able to win the Europa League trophy. it's just that, the problem is with Xavi. yes, how Xavi implements his strategy and formation, he must maximize every potential of Barcelona's players.

On the United side, Manchester United is not an easy opponent to beat by Barcelona. Currently, Erik Ten Hag's squad is on the right track. they just need even tighter chemistry and bonding. plus, it only requires a sharp center forward. so, this match will offer an interesting match.

Without having to say through their own mouths that "age is not a barrier". But in reality "age is not a barrier" for every athlete in any sport because they have to retire when the time comes and regeneration is also always present in any sporting event.

So don't be surprised when those who are old still show very good performances and are still relied on by their team, because besides those who have been very famous through their performances in the past, maybe their wish at this age in their career is to stay stronger before retiring because it will be recorded as a very good history for each of them in the arena of football.

Lewandowski can get it right in this season to help Barcelona to win this trophy before his retirement come because, he is getting old which many teams will be using that age aspect not to allow him into their team. Since, there is an improvement in their performance in this UEFA champions league and, Lewandowski need to put more effort to increase his goals in their remaining matches which many people believe that he can do it before the end of the season.

To be honest lewandowski didn't wanna play in europa league. It can be seen from how he was feeling disappointed with the result of barcelona degrade to the europa league caused by it can't qualified to the last 16 of champion league. Im sure that lewandowski will be seeing europa league as a bonus rather than try to consider it as a worthy trophy to be collected. Depay will be moving to the new club in january and i have expected barcelona to lose some players in januarty caused by they will be moving to the new clubs.
There are some players that already linked to the another club like de jong and depay. De jong may become an opponent for barcelona in europa league caused by he has been linked with MU for the january's transfer.

Don't we realize that players who have entered the end of their careers actually show very good performance and even become a mainstay for their team. There are many names on my list, including Lewandowski, Messi, Ronaldo, and many more. Players who have been considered "finished" can still show that they are still worthy of being a mainstay on their team. These players are like saying that "age is not a barrier".

Lewandowski still has time, at least 4 seasons may well play, but whether he wants to end his career in Barcelona? If he had stayed in Bavaria, he could have been in the Champions League now, but now with Barcelona he is in the EL and this is not what he expected. Maybe it's really more important for him to get a big salary, or because of the conflicts, he just didn't want to stay in Bavaria anymore, in the end everyone wants to find a place where he will be comfortable.

Apart from wanting to find new challenges outside of the Bundesliga, Lewandowski goal is to come to Barcelona to add to his trophy collection with a different club. Lewandowski experience made him adapt very quickly to Barcelona, he also immediately became Xavi mainstay in Barcelona attack line. The Europa League trophy is still Barcelona priority, Lewandowski is very motivated to win his first trophy with Barcelona.

The age factor don't hinder Lewandowski's ability on the field in the slightest, he can still play for 90 minutes without any complaints. Of course Barcelona can't count on him much longer in their squad due to the age factor, as long as he can still make a good contribution to Barcelona, Xavi will continue to rely on him despite his old age.

Robert Lewandowski is 34 years now. IMO, he has at least 3-4 years of quality football left in him. So it is too early to talk about his retirement. Ronaldo is performing exceptionally at the age of 37. The same can be said about some of the other players such as Goran Pandeev and Luka Modrić. Nowadays, players are able to maintain optimal form well in to late 30s. Lewandowski has scored 13 goals from 14 La Liga matches for Barcelona so far in 2022. That shows the sort of form he is in. And during the previous year, he scored 35 goals from 34 appearances in Bundesliga. 2020 was even better, with 41 goals from 29 matches.

Lewandowski plays very well after that for 1 or 2 seasons, and then he may retire from football.  Having youngsters for Barcelona is an advantage for the team because they have learned a lot from Lewandowski right now.  Moreover, when Lewandowski leaves the team, they do not have to wait long to fill his place.  I don't think it will gain extra motivation to win the Europa League Cup for Lewandowski.  He would get that motivation in the champions league, but I'm not sure if the Europa league will provide the same motivation.

If it's based on the history of head to head between MU and barcelona and i'd say that barcelona was leading the way over MU caused by it has so much winnings against MU but with the current situation and i doubt that about barcelona will able to beat MU. It caused by MU will get some great players as new players to play against barcelona. Barcelona must be careful with MU. Barcelona is likely trying to sell de jong for MU which can be considered as a boomerang to the team. These big clubs were making europe league become even better.
MU may give a huge pressure for barcelona but the match will come in february which is still very long and im sure barcelona will also change its starting line up

@Google+ I doubt that he can help Barcelona win in Europa, because as we saw last time Barcelona player’s were demotivated to play in the Europa league. Furthermore Manchester United are a formidable opponent who know that they need to win the Europa league to secure champions league football, hence I feel that they’ll work on neutralising Lewandowski and thus I feel that he won’t be able to help Barcelona much in the Europa league.

Lewandowski has been motivated to tries to add his trophy collection to his library, Uefa Europa league is one he doesn't have which I think is a big desire to create many goals to Barcelona. But, the age factor is one condition he must think if want to continue in europa competition because there is a opponent that has golden age player who can be as competitor. Barca also have the attacker who can replace him any time if can give a contribution like Dembele, Raphinha, Depay and Torres.

At this moment it is difficult to see Juve as one of the strongest teams because of all the problems they have, even the rumor that they are being sold or something like that, like Man United was or is happening, they have problems with scams or something. well, mismanagement, so these things can greatly affect the players who are in full action, apart from Juve, which is an elite team that has always been in Italy, this is something that has everyone in shock.

Everything is concluded while waiting for January to see how everything moves, the transfer window, everything is ready, and if things can be fixed, it would be ideal.


Due to everything that has been presented throughout the Europa League, of the local league of each team, we think that now if Barcelona has a better chance of winning, I know that both teams are bad, but I think that the one that is worse is It's Man United, the mere fact of putting it up for sale is something alarming, and yes, thanks to CR7 he was the one who caused all this to be generated in the team, but in part it's not bad, everything happens for a reason, there's always a good reason, perhaps when they buy the Club they will make the necessary improvements so that they can be an elite team like the one of many years ago, which only inflicted fear when they said Manchester.

And failures continue to be seen in the face of possible transfer windows:


Liverpool and Manchester United suffer blow in Ismael Bennacer pursuit

When you are trying to win premier league, you need to make some purchases and it is quite important to remember that Arsenal is not poor as well, they have enough money to spend on some transfers if they want to win and even if they fail and become second they could still spend 50 million pounds and would make that back.

So, it is a must for them to get some players, I do not know who they will get, but they need to improve the strength of the club to make everything work together. In that case if they lose even after spending that much money then I would understand and it's fine, but if they do nothing and lose that would feel like it's their mistake for not getting someone.

lewandowski seems to have never played in the europa league before because he always played in the champions league with bayern munich and maybe this is the first time for him to explore the europa league competition with barcelona. There is no doubt about Lewandowski quality because he has been able to make a big contribution in every game he has played with Barcelona this season. So, for this season, the fans hope to see that Lewandowski is able to present a trophy for Barcelona.
Manchester United is Barcelona opponent in a knockout match which is a very crucial match that Barcelona must win.

You are right. There should be no doubt that Lewandowski is a world-class player. At least those who have seen Lewandowski perform will agree that Lewandowski is a world-class player. The Poland team is relatively weak. Without Lewandowski in this squad, they would probably have been eliminated in the first round. Poland managed to qualify for the knockout round, I think they are happy with that. If the Barcelona team is stable I think we will get consistent good performances from Lewandowski. But it needs some more time.

Even taking into account the fact that the Polish national team is far from the top teams, Levadowski has excellent statistics when playing for the national team - in 134 games he scored 76 goals. Many great players can only dream of such statistics. But the national team is not a club that can be changed, so the players are to some extent in a cage and cannot change the "fate" that determined them to be a weak team. For example, Haaland's situation is even worse - if he gets into the final part of the European Championship or the World Cup, then this will already be a huge achievement.

Lewandowski is a legend. If he was not a player of Poland team, but a player of any other good football team, his achievements would have been greatly revealed. He brought back the image of the Barcelona team after joining Barcelona.

There is something that caught my attention, for the World Cup in Qatar one of the teams that gave the players the most was Barcelona, so is this showing that they are well despite being in great need? Or is it that they really have to cover many things, but that they don't want others to know? That is something that is difficult, but nevertheless I still do not understand the Barcelona boys, nor do I know what plans Barcelona have for this new transfer window, I know that many teams are already interested in some players, and well, Barcelona I'm sure they have their eye on one or another player.


In particular, I see the situation of Barcelona as very uphill, they have many problems, the only thing in which they are doing very well is in the League, but as for other things, they are going a bit further, there is speculation that Lewa wants to leave Barcelona, Others criticize that Lewa has to remain without playing for at least 3 games, I don't know if this sanction applies to play the UCL, and since they have to play against Manchester that will be something very interesting for the game, because I see that both teams are in decline, one due to the fault of a coach and the other because he honestly did not take advantage of all the players they had, and I clearly think it is XAVI's fault.

And for the Europa League they want to have a very good file:

Barcelona now in advanced talks to sign ‘extraordinary’ Arsenal target

I have no doubt that Lewandowski is a fantastic player. I saw Lewandowski's performance in the Bayern Munich team. A great player and he is able to score regularly. Lewandowski did not play well in the Poland team. Because the Poland team is not strong enough. It is very difficult for any player to score without the help of midfielders. Poland's midfield was not strong enough. This is why we don't see Lewandowski perform as expected. However, Barcelona's midfield is strong enough. And so I think Lewandowski's performance will be stronger in the upcoming matches with Barcelona. And he will be able to score consistently.
