Robert Lewandowski scores outrageous back-heel finish for Barcelona
Robert Lewandowski produced a moment of brilliance to bag his brace for Barcelona against Valladolid.
The Polish striker opened the scoring at the Camp Nou as Barcelona raced into a 1-0 lead after just 24 minutes, but it was his second half strike that was the pick of the bunch.
Xavi’s side were firing on all fours and despite their off-pitch struggles, Lewandowski’s incredible, backheel finish to secure a brace proved just how fluid and in sync they are on it right now.
Pedri had given Barça a 2-0 lead minutes before half-time and while they were firmly in the driving seat on Sunday evening, another goal was definitely needed to truly put the game to bed.
And of course, it was Lewandowski who came up with the goods for the second time on the night.
Waiting around the penalty box as Ousmane Dembele cut inside and weaved his way through traffic, he latched onto the Frenchman’s cute ball in behind and left spectators scratching their heads as they figured out how on earth he popped the ball into the goal.
It turns out Lewandowski – who had been ushered away from the net – produced an insatiable backheel finish to make it 3-0 after 64 minutes, securing his brace and sending fans into frenzy.
