Calls for Change: Fans Urge Xavi to Bench Lewandowski and Trust in Young Talent

As Robert Lewandowski’s recent performances for Barcelona raise concerns, fans are expressing their opinions on the veteran striker’s role in the team. A tweet from Culer Kelvin Olsei captured the sentiment, suggesting that Lewandowski’s time at Barcelona is gradually drawing to a close, and fans are questioning whether Xavi has the courage to bench the seasoned forward.

Lewandowski, pushing forty, has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, registering only three goals in the last 12 games. Fans are now advocating for a change in the lineup, with calls to give younger talents, particularly 17-year-old Marc Guiu, more playing time.

“You can’t ignore Guiu any longer. The kid scores goals for fun, and it looks like that’s translating at the highest level. Prolific as can be, he just has this uncanny knack for scoring a boatload of goals regardless of the environment,” asserts one fan named Neal.

Another fan, ItachiFCB, adds, “Yeah, Guiu is our best option in attack at the moment. We should trust La Masia boys more.”

With Guiu already notching two goals in just three appearances, accumulating a mere 44 minutes on the field, fans are advocating for Xavi to place greater trust in the young talent and consider a shift in the team’s attacking dynamics.
