Although there are still the last 4 rounds of competition left in this season's La Liga, Lewandowski, the Golden Boot of La Liga last season, still has a chance to impact the top scorer in La Liga this season, but considering the current 35-year-old Polish striker's state and the actual situation of Barcelona, it is quite difficult for Lewandowski to become the top scorer in La Liga.

So far this season, Lewandowski has played 45 games on the sidelines for Barcelona in all competitions, contributing 24 goals and nine assists. If you look at the data alone, the 35-year-old Polish striker's performance this season is still remarkable. But judging from the actual situation of a whole season, the former No. 1 striker in football is indeed on a downward slope.

You must know that just last season (2022/2023 season), Lewandowski has scored 33 goals and contributed 8 assists for the team after playing 45 more games for Barcelona. In this comparison, the Polish striker's goal statistics are as many as 9 fewer than the same period last season, and the goal statistics have dropped significantly.

In addition, if Lewandowski is unable to score at least three league goals in the next four rounds, then the number of goals scored in La Liga this season will not be able to break the 20-goal mark. You must know that as the top striker in world football, the last time Lewandowski failed to break the 20-goal mark in the league was in the 2014/15 season, when Lewandowski was in his first season with Bayern, and the Polish striker scored only 17 league goals in the Bundesliga that season.

Similarly, with the La Liga title this season being won by archrival Real Madrid four rounds ahead of schedule, it also ended Lewandowski's terrifying record of winning the league title in nine consecutive seasons. Since Lewandowski joined Bayern Munich in 2014, he has followed the Bundesliga to win the Bundesliga title in the following eight seasons. He left Bayern Munich last season to join Barcelona, and Lewandowski helped the team with his outstanding performances to reclaim the La Liga trophy from Real Madrid, thus extending his record of consecutive league titles to nine seasons.

The number of goals has dropped significantly, missing out on the league title, and it is very likely that for the first time in nearly ten seasons, the number of goals scored in the league will not exceed the 20 goal mark, and the league golden boot will be lost. Lewandowski, who is now 35 years old, has to face the cruel reality of declining form as he gets older grades.

Judging from the latest news so far, Barcelona also seems to want to clean the former No. 1 striker in football this summer. According to the Daily Sport, Deco and Laporta will meet with Lewandowski's agent Zahavi next week and have a serious discussion about Lewandowski's future. They know Xavi wants to change Barca's forward line next season, and the manager believes Lewandowski is something to be sacrificed.

Since moving from Bayern Munich to Barcelona for €45 million in the summer of 2022, Lewandowski has played a total of 91 official games for Barcelona, scoring 53 goals and providing 17 assists. For Barcelona, if the team does choose to give up the 35-year-old Lewandowski this summer, will they be able to find a successor to the Polish striker? Judging by the current situation, a huge question mark needs to be drawn.
