Xavi has changed his mind about Robert Lewandowski. The Spanish coach excluded the Pole from the squad for the next match in the King’s Cup. The media assumed that the 34-year-old man would go to the meeting.
Barcelona returned to action after a break for the World Cup in Qatar. Robert Lewandowski appeared in the first team of the Duma of Catalonia, who was originally supposed to be suspended for a red card seen in the match against Osasuna, but immediately before the match this decision was changed by the Administrative Court for Sport in Madrid. Although a lot of controversy arose around this decision, the Pole played from the first minute of the Barcelona derby, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Catalan Sport reported that Xavi planned to take his best players to the Spanish Cup match against Intercity, which was supposed to be a kind of “punishment” for Barcelona’s poor performance in debras. Everything indicates that the Spaniard changed his mind at the last moment.
Robert Lewandowski will not play in the Copa del Rey
The Pole did not have a very successful first match after the World Cup in Qatar. Although he played in the first team and was on the field for 90 minutes, he never scored the ball into the net, and in the last minutes he missed 100% of the situation, which could have changed the situation in the table. While Barcelona are still top of La Liga, they are tied on points with Real Madrid.
On January 3, Xavi announced the squad of the Catalan Pride, which will go to the Spanish Cup match on January 4 at 12:00. 21:00. It turns out that the Spaniard eventually decided not to take the captain of the Polish national team to this meeting, and in fact the team included such players as Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele, Rafinha and Frenkie de Jong.
