He added:
‘‘For me, the most important thing is what I contribute collectively to the tea. I know if I score two goals, I will have helped the team. The most important thing is confidence. If I’m in or near the penalty area, I know that the ball reaches me, the goal is in my mind.’’
So far, Robert Lewandowski has scored 97 goals since he joined Barcelona in 2022. With his impressive goal-scoring rate, he should reach a century of goals for the Catalan club before the end of this season.

“People talk about my age, but I know I’m working as hard as I always have. I want to play at the highest level for a few more years. I feel in excellent physical condition. There’s no difference between where I was a few years ago and where I am now, stat-wise.”
Robert Lewandowski is leading the LaLiga pichichi race this season with 25 goals to his name. Real Madrid summer signing Kylian Mbappe sits in the second position with 22 goals.
