Barcelona Star Robert Lewandowski Suffering Worst Goal Drought in 12 Years

• Robert Lewandowski has not scored for Barcelona since September
• The Poland striker drew blanks as the Catalans lost to Shakhtar Donetsk
• Lewandowski has scored just six goals this season for Barcelona

Robert Lewandowski’s poor run in front of goal is gradually becoming an issue for Barcelona supporters as the 2022/23 La Liga top scorer continues to struggle this season.

The 34-year-old forward again failed to score as the Catalans suffered a humiliating defeat in the UEFA Champions League to the Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, November 7.

According to SB Nation, Lewandowski has not found the net since a late brace against Celta Vigo in September, marking six consecutive games the striker has failed to score for Barcelona.

This also means the Barcelona striker is facing the worst goalscoring drought of his career in 12 years since a 10-match spell with Borussia Dortmund between December 2010 and February 2011.
