Robert Lewandowski drew reprimands from his coach Xavi during Barça’s last-gasp victory against Almeria on Wednesday.
Between Xavi and Robert Lewandowski, there is water in the gas. FC Barcelona snatched victory against Almeria (3-2) on Wednesday evening, in a La Liga match. A meeting during which captain Sergi Roberto particularly stood out, with a double in the second half. But the tension was palpable among the people of Barcelona.
Indeed, in the first half Raphinha opened the scoring for Barça, but Leo Baptistao equalized before the break. Which earned the Catalans the wrath of their coach Xavi, who did not fail to severely reframe his players, notably Lewandowski.
According to information from Mundo Deportivo and AS, the Spanish technician made a virulent speech to his players at half-time, urging them to “run like animals”. The former metronome would then have personally addressed the former Bavarian, reproaching him for his lack of involvement. “Robert, start running, damn it,” he reportedly told the Pole. Enough to revive rumors of a departure of the European goleador from Catalonia.
