While watching Barcelona’s attacking game in the new season, football fans may remember Borussia Dortmund playing in Germany ten years ago. That’s because of the two strikers. Gabon’s Pierre Emerick Aboumayang and Poland’s Robert Lewandowski. The two played together in Borussia Dortmund’s attacking line in the 2013-14 season. Jurgen Klopp was the coach of the German club at that time. Klopp fielded two strikers together and made Borussia one of the most dangerous in Europe. Klopp is now the coach of Liverpool.
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will also have to combine the two world-class strikers at his disposal. Oboumayang, who came to Barca in the January transfer, has proved his form by scoring 13 goals. Lewandowski scored 35 goals last season. One of them can be thought of as a key to game planning by benching them.
Lewandowski will play as a center striker. Obumayang will be keyed into the role of wing attacker. With this, the competition will be between Anzu Fati, Ferran Torres and Depay. Apart from all this, Ousmane Dembele and Rafinha are in Xavi’s attacking lineup.
Lewandowski is a legend of Bayern Munich. A well-known star at number nine. Lewandowski is also number nine in the Polish national team. Number eleven is vacant at Barcelona. However, Memphis Depay is ready to give his number nine to Lewandowski. After Dani Alves left the club, Pedri got the number eight. Rafinha, Christensen, Frank Kesey and Pablo Torre also need to get jersey numbers.
