"According to an update shared by Mundo Deportivo, the veteran forward remains fully committed to fighting for a starting role, despite his age and a challenging start to the season. At 37, Lewandowski is facing an uncertain future and has also had to manage a series of minor but persistent physical issues in the opening months of the campaign. Yet, rather than accepting a reduced role, the Polish striker has doubled down on his ambition."
"Lewandowski's determination was on full display in the Catalan derby against Espanyol. He was introduced in the 64th minute, replacing his competitor Ferran Torres. Rather than easing into the game, he immediately imposed himself on the match. In the 90th minute, he sealed the victory with a composed finish. That goal took Lewandowski to nine strikes in the 2025/26 La Liga season, leaving him just two goals behind Ferran."
"Recent weeks have not been easy for the superstar forward, as he has now started on the bench in four consecutive league matches and has not been named in the starting XI since Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1. He was left unused due to discomfort against Real Betis and Osasuna, before making substitute appearances against Villarreal and Espanyol. His only recent start came in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt on December 9."
