Robert Lewandowski is experiencing a challenging season with Barcelona, having seen his attacking impact noticeably decline compared to last season, when he finished with a high goal tally and was a key player in the lineup.
Despite his age (37) and relatively diminished physical condition, his rapid drop in form has raised questions within the club, especially since he was until recently an indispensable pillar of the attack.
