Robert Lewandowski once again showed his pure quality in the Catalan capital. The Barcelona striker scored a hat-trick when his team needed him most. Barcelona did not have an easy time against Valencia. The visiting goalkeeper's red card was the turning point, as Lewandowski scored three worthwhile points.
Ronald Araujo can't thank Robert Lewandowski enough.
The Barcelona defender single-handedly erased his team's good start – just as happened against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League – with a reckless tackle.
“The ball!”, the Uruguayan pointed after his intervention inside the penalty area. Although the leather didn't come close to his shoe when he knocked Gonzalez down. Pebelo gave Valencia the lead from the penalty spot. For example, youth producer Vermin's early header was completely forgotten.
Xavi's men played a very difficult match, until goalkeeper Mamardashvili extended a helping hand to them.
Literally then. The visitors' goalkeeper misjudged the tackle. Yamal hit the ball on his arm outside the large rectangle. With eleven players against ten, it had to work in Barcelona's favour, right?
However, a host of great chances did not result in on-field dominance.
We had to wait for Robert Lewandowski to head home the equaliser. The Polish striker celebrated with his arms wide open, but he also kept his head down: the win alone was enough to not give Real Madrid a push towards the title.
Lewandowski added the recovery goal again from a fixed stage. To complete his celebration, he also kicked a free kick. A hat-trick that pleased his defensive line colleague in particular.
The Catalan team has 73 points thanks to the not-so-glamorous victory. This is 11 points less than leaders Real Madrid, with 15 points remaining to divide the Spanish League.
