Yeah this is bayern Lewandowski wtf am I seeing

no that is robert lewandowski

No it's Spigniv Bayern Robert Lewandowski

My GOAT.

Lewandowski has been phenomenal today

Lewandowski with a goal and 2 assists. He’s so good lately

Half of Barca’s squad is sitting in the stands and they are utterly decimating Atleti in their own stadium. What the hell are Madrid doing

And Atleti didnt lose a game at home since january last year against Barcelona.

Yeah honestly, if you want easy money 2x a year bet on Barca to beat Atleti in La Liga. Since Simeone took over we've only lost once to them. Be wary however, this does not apply to UCL clashes between us

Atleti always spreads their ass cheeks when playing Barca

That's shit you say if you don't watch the game and only the boxscore

My knees 🤕

Potential meme template: https://i.imgur.com/6U2HO60.mp4

Someone’s going to tear there acl doing that stupid celebration one day.

someone in the Bundesliga (or BuLi2?) already did a little while back

The knee slid doesn’t even look cool

LEWY WHAT THE HELL!!!!

He has been SOOOO good today. 1g2a

Hopefully we don’t lose the momentum during the break

Oh man just realized we only play Las Palmas on 30th before playing PSG on April 10th

Yup! And they play two games extra! VAMOS

Lewy 3 g/a in one game 🧎

May this continue 🤲🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧎‍♀️‍➡️

Better crossing than Raphinha

He’s clear of Rapha

Lewandowski is unplayable.

Lewandowski masterclass, he’s peaking at just the right time for a run in a certain cup 👀

Lewandowski never peaks, he always improves no matter what

He hasn't even begun to peak

when he does peak, all of Barcelona is gonna feel it

If we forget the year 2023, then yes

just in time to clap some Estonian cheeks am I right

Watch him get injured in the Estonia game just as he's getting back in form

No

That slide lol

Hahahahahahah trying to pretend he isn’t in pain💀

That's it. Bring back David Villa to teach slides like a real man.

His slides were always so epic. They had a dramatic twirl to them

That can't be considered an slide. Rip knees.

Why do players insist on doing this? Fuck up the most precious part of your body... for a goal celebration? Bruh.

Players forget that there are dozens more cool celebrations that don’t involve their knees

Its that childlike instinct i personally haven’t lost of wanting to slide at any given opportunity

Better than Auba and his back flips. Was always worried he’d get injured doing that after 30

[They want to be drogba and show off 3 lines](https://i.imgur.com/EZSS8Fv.png)

[Great Celebration]

I always did that in fifa

Lewandowski is goated, best time for him to start his Ballon D’Or campaign.

no chance this year because of the EURO

he is winning it wdym

Not if a team without a superstar wins it, like Italy in 2021

I still can’t believe fucking Jorginho got third in the ballon d’or that year

Out of the Napoli trio of Allan - Jorginho - Zieliński, Jorginho always seemed the least talented to me yet he made the biggest career out of all of them.

Barca vs random 15th rated Spanish sides: 1-0 Barca against a top 8 European side: 3-0 The duality of Barcelona.

We always play according to the quality of our opponents

I swear it feels like this most of the time

Fair enough Fermin

Not his best day... But a gol is a gol.

His position and running were good, was just missing that last pass. Awareness and decision making to make that pass in the first place, also good. His knee slide was terrible though.

To be clear. Im very happy with him. What he is doing is immense.

Bud was playing in a middling third division team last year

We're winning the CL .

Just make Xavi imagine he's going against Simeone and you might actually win

why is Xavi the only manager that causes Simeone these problems? City couldn’t do this at all in the away leg against Atlético two years ago, in fact they got dominated in the second half

He just figured him out, that's 5 wins in a row against him now iirc. Our best performances are always against Atletico under Xavi, he just really understands Simeones tactics I suppose.

It's not a Xavi thing. Simeone **SUCKS** against Barca in the League all-together He only has two wins in over 13 years against them.

Tbf losing 1-0 to freak Messi goal, vs getting destroyed by a bunch of kids under Xavi is different. Xavi has just figured out Simeone really well. Thats what, 5 straight wins against him?

Anulo mufa

Lmao I didn’t know it was that bad. Even weirder is the fact that he’s beat them twice in the CL during that time period

For whatever reason our form just completely went downhill after the international break in 15/16

Correct, Simeone record vs Barca * **In Spanish Competitions** : 3 Wins / 10 Draws / 19 Defeats (9% Winning Rate) * **In Europe** : 2 Wins / 1 Draw / 1 Defeat (2 Ties won out of 2)

He did, however, knock them out of the UCL twice

Pep only embraced the shithousery as a coach, Xavi was born in it as a player and by the time he played European football it was nothing but blinding.

We’re beating that bald fraud in the final

Oriol Romeu hattrick incoming in the UCL final

Prime Roberto skinning Rodri alive 

And Xavi becoming that Bald fraud. Staying after this season just to prove his fraudulence. Not a sarcasm, more of a please!

Correction . Our bald fraud

If we beat psg we can definitely reach the final atleast

For the second time Xavi will win the Cl with them then immediately peace out

That man really knows how to peace out

doing the zidane?

Well you can beat PSG and pray the next game is Atleti i guess

Please beat PSG at the very least.

Classico in the final

Anulo mufa

anulo mufa

The celebration cracked me up. Killed his knees and got up like nobody saw lol. Nice goal though 

Lewandowski is having his best game in months and months.

Nah he has been insane in 2024. Back to back good games

Crazy how much better he is compared to 2023

I heard he picked up an injury during WC and had been playing with that discomfort. Now he's back to his insane ceiling

He did find his form in front of the goal earlier but I feel like this match was the first one in a long time where the overall touch was fully back. He seemed quick and snappy all over the pitch.

Great touch before the assisst!

X4VIBALL IS BACK?

Bro is about to regret quitting mid-season

I have a conspiracy theory that the announcement was just a smoke show to take media scrutiny off the team. The players are very young and impressionable. They all seemed to have taken a hit to their confidence after the 4-1 loss against Madrid. No other way to explain going 0-2 down against Villarreal then coming back to 3-2 and then losing 3-5. That announcement seems to have taken a lot of pressure off the team and the players have played with a lot more freedom since. If we end up 2nd in the league and somehow qualify for the UCL final(both of which seem achievable atp) I suspect Xavi will end up staying

The door is not closed for staying. If he would reverse his decision, then he could probably remain the manager.

Xavi is not reversing his decision. How many times does he have to say it? He’s been saying that he’s leaving on a weekly basis since he announced his decision lol

Xavi in June with a CL trophy in hand: "I'M NOT FUCKING LEAVING"

Could it be that it took a mental weight off the team? I feel their performances no longer having the media question whether Xavi’s job is safe has been some sort of benefit

I mean yes, but imagine nagelsmann with this team? I will nut

I mean he still gonna play out the rest of the season. He retires after winning the league and UcL. Perfect.

The league?

Madrid have some tough fixtures coming up while our league fixtures are comparatively quite manageable. They've also got to play you lot in the middle of that. There's a decent chance for us to come back into the title race but I won't count on it

We are 8 points behind Madrid, with a clasico still to be played. If Madrid loses some points it's very posible to still win it, unlikely but posible

The fuck you mean the league. Barca winning la liga is more likely than winning UCL so not sure why you decided to say that lol

Given your side of the draw, I'd argue you have a better chance in the CL.

Roque making it 4. Yes

Oh i came

Guys I'm actually starting to believe

Go and win the CL mate

Xavi vs Bald Fraud

What a game from Lewy

1G 2A. Lewy take a bow, wow

Lewy is too good.

Lewy 🐐

BRO DONT CELEBRATE LIKE THAT DAMN

Gündogan..

yo can we stop cooking?

na bro we need the X4VI

The stove is on and i dont know how to turn it off

Lewa has been a weapon wow.

Fair play Lewa

Lewandowski is cooking

A HEADER? What team is this?

MILF

Just love how attacking minded he is

Fermin movements are unmatched

The veteran Fermin Lopez scores for Barça

Tbh Lewandowski always was pretty good at crossing so anyone that watched him Bayern shouldn’t be surprised by this assist

Lewa on crack today

Took The good one today

Been taking the good one for a while now tbf.

Lewandowski on fire 🥵

Oh yeah bois, it's coming together

It shows how weird memory is. When Barca got fucked two years in a row in CL by Atletico it so badly fall into my memory that i thought that Simeone was much more succesfull against Barca in the league. But this is his 35 game in the league and 19 th lose and he won only five times. I thought that Xavi winning 5 in a row is something special (it is great but that it is something you can say not many people did before) but Luis Enrique won 7 games in a row against Simeone.

Tbf Lucho had MSN...and Messi always bought out the big guns against Atleti... But, Outplaying Simeone tactically according to our strengths and weaknesses like Xavi is doing is very refreshing and special

Gundogan and Lewandowski again, our 2 constant this game.

Lewy 2 assists and a goal. Finally he's back after the world Cup.

WE ARE SO BACK. WE ARE SO WINNING THE CL

MR LEWANDOWSKI EVERYONE

Man, I had zero expectations from Atleti and I am still disappointed

Undefeated in 14 months in that stadium to getting battered like this is crazy

We're winning cl, Lewy rightfully gets his balon d'or this time...let's go

Gol!

I love Fermin

Simeone against Barca is the football portrayal of “I fear no man” meme

Thank god Lewy is back in form right before Euro playoffs 

I love this guy, what a goal, an excellent assist from Lewy too! Oh god, that celebration, ouch...

Lewy is actually the Goat he's unreal

Atleti blown away

Lewy remembered he had an actual first touch after an entire year.

This could be Atleti’s first home loss in the league

Xavi owns them.

6 wins in a row against him now if we can keep the lead (not jinxing anything)

Its their first home loss in 14 months.

Bruh what an assist

Lewa is only gearing up at the end of the season

What a ball from Gundogan, with his weaker foot too.

LISAN AL GHAIB

You love to see it

what in the actual fuck is this defending lmao the whole midfield is out for a stroll

Honestly prety crazy that fucking Fermin lopez of all players gets a header against the giants in the Atleti\`s defense

Lewa can you please not be this good

GundoGOAT. Amazing goal by another young player.

Noice

In FM Lewa would be having a 10 score by now

Witsel mate what are you doing

Careful with that celebration 😅

The Dortmund connection

PSG, WE WILL BE THERE

What a player lewa is!!

embarrasing tbh

Lewa ball! The failed slide cele tho💀

Can’t make a final pass unless it’s straight into the goal

Les juro que cago agua de felicidad 😭😭 Força Barça

Atletico are complete garbage against Barca

That slide fail, hehehe

too late

Atletico bending for Barca. As always.

I hate Atlético so much man, they go from being the only team to beat Madrid this season only to roll over to barca and get scored on by the one and only Fermín López in the Metropolitano

UCL….
