Levy’s career could have ended before it began forever. What happened 20 years ago?
The Catalan coach, however, praised the Poland captain for his performance in both matches. - Lewandowski is a great reinforcement. He hasn’t scored yet, but he will soon. According to Xavi, he is the best striker who matters and is always in the perfect position in the penalty area. In the game against the New York Red Bulls, Levy’s partners in attack this time were Rafinha and Ousmane Dembele.
Patrik Klimala, a former striker for Jagiellonia Bialystok, has played in the home team since the beginning.
Robert Lewandowski misses power
Already in the first minutes of the match, Lewandowski could feel himself in … the Polish national team. A long pass in his direction was the victim of the defenders. He tried to play alone, but two actions with Rafinha did not carry any danger. The next one, this time with Dembele, also did not end with a blow.
The hosts created the first dangerous situation. However, Drew Yearwood hit the crossbar. Dembele also missed in return. Lewandowski appeared in the 17th minute. He received a great pass from Jordi Alba, but missed his header and sent the ball over the bar. This was the beginning of the Pole’s nightmare!
Big scandal during the match of the Ukrainian national team! It really happened!
Three minutes later, Levi passed several defenders in the penalty area, worked out the exit and missed again. Only a smirk remained on his face. At 25 minutes, it looked like he should finally score the first goal for Barcelona. He received an application for the sixth meter. With an empty net in front of him, he hesitated too long with a blow and hit the leg of Carlos Coronel who intervened!
Lewandowski lost situation after situation in the first half. Superbly served by Rafinia, he found himself alone with the bouncer and banged right on him.
Barcelona beat the New York Red Bulls.
In the 40th minute, Barcelona played without Leva and … took the lead. The goalkeeper defeated Dembele with a strong blow.
Xavi during the break decided not to switch to Left, who started the second half with a foul on the goalkeeper. It was not a Pole’s game. In the 53rd minute, the ball bounced off the defender’s foot, but the goalkeeper managed to intervene.
Annoyed, he could not stand the foul and pushed the opponent away. The referee had to intervene. After two more interventions by the goalkeeper Leva… just smiled. Teammates did their best to get him into the net. However, this did not happen. Lewandowski was replaced in the 73rd minute. The last chance he had was just before leaving the field, but while trying to catch the ball, he fell on the field. It was a summing up of this not very successful performance. Although he did not score a goal, the fans said goodbye to him with loud applause.
Barcelona scored the second goal late in the game. The player with the number “9” on the Memphis Depay jersey entered the list of shooters. “Levi needs number 9 to score. He was just unlucky,” said one of the fans of the club from Catalonia.
New York Red Bulls - Barcelona 0:2 (0:1)
