Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski continues to prove himself as a vital player for Barcelona, especially when facing Valencia.

Now, as Barça prepare for their upcoming clash, the Polish striker stands out as a key figure in their pursuit of success. His impressive record against Valencia makes him a reliable asset for the Blaugrana team.

Since joining Barça in the summer of 2022, Lewandowski has faced Valencia five times, winning four matches and drawing once.

More impressively, he remains undefeated against the Valencian side. This track record not only underscores his impact but also cements his reputation as a consistent performer.

His scoring form against other teams like Celta and Villarreal, with five goals each, also demonstrates his remarkable consistency.

Lewandowski’s journey against Valencia began on 29 October 2022, at Mestalla. He delivered the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory.

Although he missed the home fixture due to injury, he made a stunning comeback in the 2023-24 season. That season saw him net a hat-trick in a 4-2 triumph at Montjuic, followed by a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Mestalla.

What about this season?

In the current season, Lewandowski continued his dominance. He scored both goals in Barça’s 2-1 victory during their league visit to Valencia.

His recent contribution in the 7-1 thrashing at Montjuic, where he scored one, further highlighted his importance, as he added yet another goal to his tally.

As Barça look to extend their strong run, Lewandowski’s form and track record make him a pivotal figure.

His performances against Valencia are a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence and a key reason why he remains a talisman for the Catalan side.
