The former Bayern Munich star bagged a brace against Real Sociedad at the Anoeta before scoring another two goals against Real Valladolid at the Spotify Camp Nou last Sunday.

His goals and assist all came in the month of August, and he played full 90 minutes in all three matches.

Meanwhile, Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski showed off a mesmeric piece of skill against Real Valladolid and became the Bundesliga logo.

The former Bayern Munich striker somehow produced an insane first-touch finish after he rolled up his leg and hit the ball like the Bundesliga logo into the net.

The Pole bagged a brace for the second weekend in a row, with his brilliant back-heel finish the most talked about.

Lewandowski promises to restore Barcelona’s lost glory

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Robert Lewandowski has promised to bring the glory days back to Barcelona after the recent slump in form by the Catalan giants both in the La Liga and in Europe.

The Blaugrana boasts of a rich record of trophies but has struggled in recent years to win titles with the Catalans finishing the 2021/22 season trophyless.

Lewandowski who joined Barcelona this summer has now vowed to win titles with the Spanish giants as he believes the time is right for the club to return to its winning ways.
