Lewa gets his shooting mojo back as Barsa defeat Cadiz thanks to first-half blitzkrieg

We’re not accustomed to seeing Robert Lewandowski with the goal-scoring output of only one La Liga goal in six matches (he was suspended for three games, though). And that was just the case ahead of tonight’s Barcelona clash against Cadiz at mythical Camp Nou, in front of not less than 72.000 spectators.The Polish striker netted in Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey, but somehow those league games saw him missing the target in a couple of promising opportunities.Robert Lewandowski scores his 15th La Liga goal of the season 🤜🤛 pic.twitter.com/rFaeKphmRF— B/R Football (@brfootball) February 19, 2023 The time has come, however, for that drought to come to end, as the Blaugrana brushed aside the charming minnows in the three-minute-long perfect storm at the end of the first half.Cadiz kept their net protected for the vast part of the opening half, before Sergi Roberto – Barca’s captain in the absence of Busquets – broke the deadlock two minutes before the half-time whistle. He netted after Cadiz’s keeper managed to stop Lewandowski’s effort, but was helpless when Roberto struck from inside the area.And then, just a few seconds into the stoppage time, only three minutes after the first one, Lewa finally found the back of the net in his trademark style.Albeit packed Camp Nou probably thought at that moment this would be just the start of a pleasing goal festival, the underdogs kept their calm and prevented Barca from humiliating them. Moreover, they even came close to scoring on several occasions near the end but Ter Stegen was lucky enough to clinch another clean sheet ahead of the UEFA Europa League return leg against Manchester United next Thursday.LA LIGAFridayGirona – Almeria 6-2 (4-0)/Castellanos 8, Tsygankov 34, Riquelme 36, Hernandez 43 – Ramazani 66, Toure 81/SaturdayReal Sociedad – Celta 1-1 (1-0)/Oyarzabal 4 – Le Normand 90+3 og/Real Betis – Real Valladolid 2-1 (2-1)/Juanmi 2, Canales 45+4 – Larin 30/Mallorca – Villareal 4-2 (2-1)/Kadewere 20, Rodriguez 45, 56, Muriqi 63 – Morales 43, Chukwueze 50/Osasuna – Real Madrid 0-2 (0-0)/Valverde 78, Asensio 90+2/SundayElche – Espanyol 0-1 (0-0)/Darder 90+2/Rayo Vallecano – Sevilla 1-1 (0-1)/Lejeune 65 – Suso 29/Atl.
