3 Goals In 2 Games: Lewa Receives Special Praise

FC Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has received some special praise from coach Hansi Flick after his winning goal on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants made it two wins from two matches after defeating Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at San Mames.

Lamine Yamal opened the scoring for Barcelona, before Lewandowski popped up with the winning goal in the final ten minutes.

Lewandowski has now scored three goals in two games after adding to his brace from the opening weekend and Flick believes the Polish striker will be key this season.

"I know him, I have worked with him and he's 100% fit, you can see it," the German coach said in a news conference.

"Against the ball he's doing great. He presses with the team from the front, so we always receive the ball very high. It's good for our game.

"Robert is an absolute professional player, working hard on his fitness, this body he has, it's not this age.

"For me, when he is fit, when he is positive, it helps us a lot. He knows how to score goals and also when he is under pressure."

He continued, "We needed this second goal and Robert had the chance and he took it.

"This is his job and he is doing this great over years now, not only this year.

"Of course, in the first half especially he could score one or two goals, but I have to see it again, it's just the impression on the bench.

"But, at the end, this is a goal-getter, a striker who scores goals. The second goal for us was the winner, three points, perfect."
