According to information from the Spanish newspaper ‘‘El Nacional‘‘, the Barcelona star finds himself in a difficult situation in the dressing room, after the Catalan trio of Pedri, Yamal, and Rafinha demanded that he be dropped from the starting lineup and that his place be given to another star who has been shining this season. This star is Ferran Torres, who has started to establish himself as a key member of the attack.
The trio is consistently pressuring coach Hansi Flick to remove Robert Lewandowski from the starting lineup, clearly telling him, “He doesn’t deserve to be a starter, especially with Ferran Torres’ excellent performances. He now deserves a chance.”

Ferran Torres, who has been performing admirably this season despite often coming off the bench, demonstrated his worth, particularly when he scored two crucial goals against Atlético Madrid to lead the team to victory. This performance has everyone wondering whether it’s time to give Ferran more opportunities.
On the other hand, Lewandowski, despite being the team’s top scorer, has been suffering from a decline in form this season. Even though he scored the opening goal against Atlético Madrid, his overall performance was below expectations, raising questions about whether he still deserves to be a starter.
Coach Flick is in a difficult position, as Lewandowski brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record, while Ferran Torres has proven his ability to add attacking value whenever he is given the opportunity. The German coach is fully aware that he cannot exclude Ferran Torres from the squad if he continues his impressive form, but he also does not want to compromise Lewandowski’s experience and quality.
Given these developments, Flick may opt to rotate the players and give each one opportunities in the squad depending on the circumstances. However, if Lewandowski continues to decline, Ferran may become the team’s primary attacking option.
In the coming weeks, Flick will need to make a crucial decision regarding the future of Barcelona’s attack. If Ferran continues to perform well, he may move from the bench to the starting lineup, while Lewandowski will need to return to his usual form if he wants to maintain his place as a starter.
Thus, Barcelona’s attacking future is full of exciting possibilities, and the rivalry between Lewandowski and Ferran Torres will be key in determining the team’s success in the next phase.
