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.
