Britain's Daily Mail reported on the 16th (Korea time) that Lewandowski was accused of being an unrecognizable player after Barcelona's shocking loss to Leganes.
Barcelona lost 0-1 in the 17th round of the Spanish Primera Liga against Leganes in 2024-2025 season at the Estadi Olympics Luis Companis in Barcelona, Spain on the 16th. Barcelona failed to recover a goal until the end of the second half after losing a point to opposing defender Sergio González in the fourth minute of the first half.
After the game, the arrows of criticism turned to the attackers, especially Lewandowski. Lewandowski is one of the most prominent players in Barcelona's offense this season. With 23 goals and two assists, he has accumulated the most offensive points in Barcelona's team along with Rafaela (17 goals and eight assists).
It is the fastest scoring pace since joining Barcelona. Lewandowski has scored 33 and 26 goals for Barcelona in the last two seasons, respectively. This season, less than half of the time, is close to last season's scoring record. It seemed to show again how he bombed the league with 40 goals and 50 goals for Bayern Munich.

The Daily Mail said Lewandowski was accused of being an unrecognizable player after the defeat to Leganes. Coach Hanji Flick was also furious at the players' poor performance, and Lewandowski, despite being the top scorer in La Liga, has only scored one goal in the last four games and has not been effective against Leganes.
Marca, Spain, cannot even recognize 'the skill. It's hard to believe what's going on with Lewandowski. He went to the bench early ahead of the end of the game. I couldn't even raise an objection. It was a very clear opportunity that did not suit La Liga's most scorers, pointing to Lewandowski's slump.
With Lewandowski and other players sluggish, leading Barcelona (38 points) allowed second-place Atletico Madrid (38 points), which played one game less. Lewandowski's rebound is urgent as Atletico's game may lose its lead in the next round.
