No Lewandowski no problem, Barca's statistics without the polish are exciting

This Sunday, FC Barcelona will travel to face Granada. Xavi Hernández's team will aim to achieve another victory but will not be able to count on the polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who was injured in the last match on portuguese soil against Porto in the UEFA Champions League.

Xavi will have to find a way to make up for the scoring quota that the striker contributes to face Granada, since Robert Lewandowski will be inactive for at least a month due to a sprained left ankle that he suffered in the match against Porto and will miss ‘El Clásico’ against Real Madrid. In addition, he would not play with the Polish National Team in the qualification matches for Euro 2024 in the Faroe Islands and then in Moldova.

The culé coach himself admitted that it will be "difficult to replace a world-class striker" such as the former Bayern Munich player. This season, the number 9 of Barcelona has accumulated six shouts, 5 of them in the Spanish League and the other remaining in the UEFA Champions League, after having played all the starting games except the one against Mallorca, where he entered in the second part. But he will not be able to take part in several matches after his injury against Porto, although Xavi finds peace of mind in the previous record.

The statistics of Xavi Hernández's team without Lewandowski on the field that give the coach peace of mind

Last season, the Barça team was able to overcome the absence of the polish striker and the statistics confirm it: of 7 games without Lewandowski, Barça obtained 7 victories. Without him, the team won 5 of those 7 games by 1-0, four of them in the Spanish League and the remaining in the King's Cup. The rest were a 4-3 in the Cup and a 4-2 in the Champions League. For this occasion, Xavi will only have three of the scorers who made up for the polish's absence: Ferrán Torres, Marcos Alonso and Ronald Araujo, and the rest of the scorers who scored in last year's games without Lewandowski will not be in Granada.
