Robert Lewandowski found the back of the net twice in a five-minute span Wednesday evening, earning praise after Barcelona’s dominant 7-2 victory over Newcastle United. The Polish striker has started each of Barcelona’s last three matches, leading the line as the team continues its push for Champions League glory. Questions lingered about whether Hansi Flick would continue to start Lewandowski, especially with Ferran Torres recently struggling to uncover the net.

On March 22, FC Barcelona will face Rayo Vallecano at home in a crucial La Liga match.

However, Sport suggested Lewandowski would retain his place in the starting lineup. Flick’s decision was revealed approximately an hour before kickoff, as Barcelona announced the team that would take the field. Robert Lewandowski was named in the starting eleven.
