Robert Lewandowski found the back of the net again, scoring twice as Barcelona thrashed Newcastle 7-2. The striker played wearing a protective mask after suffering a fracture near his left eye, an injury that had previously halted his goal-scoring run since his last goal against Villarreal.
The match was a special moment for the Polish forward, who celebrated his goals enthusiastically, waving the mask like a trophy. Despite conceding goals to Newcastle, Lewandowski expressed pride in himself and the team’s overall performance.
With this brace, Lewandowski has now scored four goals in this Champions League campaign, trailing only his teammate Fermin. His impactful return signals his pivotal role in Barcelona’s offense moving forward.
