Robert Lewandowski opens up about trust issues as Barcelona struggle

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has revealed his confidence issues at the end of a mixed 2024.

The Blaugrana have seen their League title cut in recent weeks and begin 2025 in third place in the standings.

One win in their last seven league games has allowed their rivals to take the lead and Lewandowski’s goals have dried up.

The veteran Polish international still has 16 league goals this season, leading the Pichichi team heading into 2025, with just one goal scored in his last five games in all competitions.

Barcelona will gratefully welcome the opportunity to regroup and reset as the domestic season pauses until early January and Lewandowski hopes to rediscover his acumen.

“In the last two or three games we have had great chances that we have wasted. I had the feeling that I lacked composure in the box and perhaps confidence in myself,” according to La Liga TV, via Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona closed 2024 with a defeat to Atlético Madrid, the visitors’ first win in Catalonia since 2006, and Lewandowski admitted the result should be a turning point.

“Sometimes if you can’t win, you can’t lose the game. It has happened to us several times this season. I think next year we will come back stronger and play better.”

Barcelona faces a busy start to 2025, with a Copa del Rey trip to Barbastro on January 4, before immediately heading to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup as they prepare to battle in four competitions.
