Barcelona fans on X want Robert Lewandowski to be sold after he struggled to make an impact during their 2-0 win over Athletic Club. The two sides faced each other in the Supercopa de Espana semi-final at the King Abdullah Sports City on Wednesday, January 8.
La Blaugrana orchestrated an excellent team move in the 17th minute, which was finished well by Gavi. Athletic Club threatened to equalize but conceded again in the 52nd minute when the returning Lamine Yamal netted an outstanding goal to make it 2-0. Oscar de Marcos and Inaki Williams both found the back of the net late on for Athletic Club but saw their efforts ruled out by VAR due to offsides in the build-up.
