Lewandowski’s Disappointment After Substitution in Barcelona’s 1-0 Victory Over Real Sociedad

In Barcelona’s hard-fought 1-0 win against Real Sociedad on Saturday, Robert Lewandowski’s visible displeasure was evident when he was substituted during the match.

Pedri replaced the Polish striker just before the hour mark when the score remained level. The decisive goal was ultimately scored by Ronald Araujo in the later stages of the game.

Despite his disappointment, Lewandowski maintained sportsmanship and shook hands with his manager, Xavi.

Xavi offered insight into the substitution, stating, “Lewandowski is returning from an injury, and it’s a challenge for him to maintain 100% fitness. We have to effectively manage injuries and substitutions for the benefit of the team.”
