Barcelonavs.Valencia

The Poland international has 28 in 29 matches this term, including 16 in 19 La Liga outings, with the 36-year-old showing that he remains one of the best centre-forwards in world football.

Barcelona have only won one of their last eight in the league, though, demonstrating the importance of posting a victory this weekend, as they bid to stay in touch at the top of the La Liga table.

Hansi Flick's side are currently third, seven points behind the leaders Real Madrid, and they will be welcoming a Valencia outfit that are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions.

Here, Sports Mole takes a close look at how Lewandowski has performed against Valencia during his professional career.

Robert Lewandowski record vs. Valencia

Played: 4

Won: 3

Drawn: 1

Lost: 0

Goals: 6

Assists: 0

Lewandowski has faced Valencia on four occasions during his time at Barcelona, with all of those contests taking place in La Liga, and it would be fair to say that he has enjoyed taking on Los Che.

Indeed, the experienced striker has an excellent record of six goals in four matches, remaining unbeaten in the process, posting three wins and one draw in his previous encounters with the six-time Spanish champions.

Lewandowski's first match against Valencia was in the first half of the 2022-23 La Liga season, finding the back of the net in a 1-0 Barcelona win, but he missed the reverse game due to a hamstring problem.

The forward drew a blank in a 1-1 draw at Mestalla during the 2023-24 campaign, but he struck a hat trick in the reverse fixture, as Barcelona recorded a 4-2 victory in front of their own fans.

Lewandowski was also in excellent form against Los Che on the opening matchday of the 2024-25 La Liga campaign, hitting a brace in a 2-1 victory for Barcelona, so he has five goals in his last two matches with Valencia.
