Lewandowski has been in excellent form this season, having scored five goals before the sixth round of matches. Another opportunity came on Wednesday at 9:00 PM when Barcelona faced Getafe. Lewandowski played a great game, finding the back of the net and securing a 1-0 victory for his team. "Lewandowski is one of the biggest beneficiaries of Hansi Flick's style, and against Getafe, he extended his lead in the race for the Pichichi (top scorer in La Liga)" - noted Marca after the match.
Lewandowski Could Have Scored More. VAR Did Not Intervene
It appears Lewandowski could have added more goals to his tally - or at least had a chance to do so. In the 64th minute, a significant controversy occurred. During a cross into the penalty area, Getafe's goalkeeper David Soria rushed out to clear the ball. He extended his leg and struck Lewandowski in the chest. However, the referee did not notice the foul and allowed play to continue. The VAR also failed to intervene.
After the match, this incident was analyzed, and many experts agreed that Barcelona should have been awarded a penalty.
He hit him in the chest. That’s a penalty for two reasons. First, it was a reckless play - he struck the opponent in the chest. Secondly, it qualifies as dangerous play, which also warrants a penalty
- said Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez on Carrusel Deportivo.
After seven rounds, FC Barcelona sits atop the league table with a perfect record. Their next match is scheduled for Saturday at 9:00 PM, where they will face Osasuna Pamplona.
