Robert Lewandowski continues to defy expectations for Barcelona.
Despite worries about his age and long-term future at the club, the Polish striker remains one of the squad’s most dependable offensive players.
Now, as Barcelona prepares to face Girona in the La Liga, Lewandowski is closing in on a remarkable milestone.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the veteran forward is just one goal away from matching the record set by one of the club’s most iconic personalities, Ronaldinho.
At the present, Lewandowski has 79 La Liga goals. If he scores against Girona, he would have scored 79 in the league, matching Ronaldinho’s record at Barcelona.
Good, Bad, and Ugly
Notably, the impending opponent may also work in his advantage, since Girona is a team Lewandowski has previously loved fighting.

In fact, in five games against them, he has four goals. That record alone will be cause for anxiety for the hosts at Montilivi, especially because Barcelona is eager to secure a significant result.
There is, however, an intriguing twist to the preceding goals. While Lewandowski has scored against Girona, his goals have not always influenced the ultimate result.
He scored twice at Montjuic and Montilivi during the 2023-24 season, which is usually regarded as Girona’s best performance, although Barcelona still lost 2-4 and 2-4.
Things were different the previous time the parties met. Lewandowski’s brace proved vital in Barcelona’s 4-1 triumph over Michel’s squad.
On that occasion, his goals directly influenced the outcome, demonstrating how vital he can be when Barcelona requires a competitive edge.
