Robert Lewandowski in Spain was criticized after the match against Deportivo Alaves. Despite scoring two goals, the media mainly commented on the Pole’s behavior towards Lamine Yamal, whose hand the striker did not shake after the unsuccessful attack. The Spaniard put an end to rumors about bad blood in the team, and now he has decided to do the same to Xavi. The coach eloquently commented on the incident between his players and defended Lewandowski.
During Barcelona’s match against Deportivo Alaves, Robert Lewandowski became both a hero and an anti-hero of the Spanish press. The Pole scored two goals that helped change the score from 0-1 to 2-1, but he also did not shake hands with Lamine Yamal after an unsuccessful action. The media called it an “ugly gesture”. In Barcelona, everyone defends Lewandowski.

Xavi defends Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona coach comments on the incident with Lamine Yamal
Yamal admitted that the matter has been resolved and the two get along great. Despite these declarations, Spanish journalists pursued the topic during the press conference. There, the Catalans’ coach commented on the incident.
– I think it’s something completely normal and happened often when I was a player. I remember the fights with Carles Puyol and Victor Valdes, you can find it in the archives. Situations like this happen everywhere, even at work. Let’s not attach importance to this, because Lewandowski is one of the most helpful players in the team. He cares a lot about Lamine and helps him become a great player, said Xavi, putting an end to all speculations.
The Barcelona coach not only defended Lewandowski, but also took a moment to praise the striker. He emphasized again that the Pole was a key player in his team.
– He is always present. It doesn’t matter whether he has a good or bad streak. He works as a team player, is altruistic and a true locker room leader. Lewandowski is fundamental. He is a scorer who makes the difference, as we saw in the last match. He needs a team and the team needs him. I’m talking about all players, Xavi concluded.
Spanish media predict that Robert Lewandowski will be in Barcelona’s starting lineup for the match against Rayo Vallecano. The clash is scheduled for Saturday, November 25 at 2:00 p.m. In the previous meeting with this rival, the Pole scored a goal, but his team lost 1:2.
