The Polish striker, who missed a flurry of big chances on the night, including the gilt edge opportunity in the 86th minute, melted the hearts of many fans of La Blaugrana with a gesture.

Lewandowski's heartwarming act involved him posing with a child wearing a 'Lewandowski' jersey, who had invaded the pitch to take a selfie with him.

According to BR Football, the 35-year-old instructed stadium security not to remove the child until they had taken a selfie together.

This touching gesture resonated with fans worldwide, eliciting heartfelt reactions and positive remarks.

However, while Lewandowski's off-field gesture won over the hearts of Catalan club fans, concerns were raised about his on-field performance, particularly considering the numerous chances he has missed in recent games. Some fans believe that he might be past his prime, and the team could benefit from a suitable replacement.
