Spanish media "World Sports" reported that the 37-year-old Lewandowski refused to accept a supporting role and insisted on fighting for a starting position for himself.

Reports pointed out that despite being 37 years old and only having the last year of his contract with Barcelona, ​​Lewandowski still refused to accept a supporting role in Barcelona's final season. The Polish striker insists on fighting for a starting spot in every game he wears in the red and blue jersey.

So far this season, Lewandowski has played more of a super substitute role: after missing the first round due to injury, he played 14 minutes in Levante's away game and 12 minutes in the second round against Rayo Vallecano. After the international break, although he opened his scoring account for the season with the national team, he still started from the bench against Valencia after his return, but scored twice in 22 minutes. Then he played the full game against Getafe at home for the first time. Although he didn't score a goal, he was back in the starting lineup. In the away game against Oviedo, he came on as a substitute and scored a world wave to help the team reverse. Then he started the game against Real Sociedad at home and scored the winning goal. However, in Sevilla's away game, he fought hard throughout the game but missed a penalty kick and failed to save the defeat. In the Champions League, he started against Newcastle and served as a substitute against Paris.

On this international match day, Lewandowski once again scored for Poland in Lithuania, raising the number of goals scored by the national team to 87 goals. After the game, he clearly demonstrated his common ambition with the national team: "Only 13 goals away from the 100-goal milestone? There are still games this year, and there will be opportunities next year. Every goal makes me happy, let's wait and see for the future."
