The win, Barca's first under coach Xavi Hernandez's renewed tenure, marked a significant milestone for the Polish striker, who etched his name in the club's history.
In a solid display, Lewandowski became the first Barcelona forward since Samuel Eto'o in 2005 to score two headers in a single La Liga match.
However, his impact transcended mere statistics, as he continued to be the linchpin of Barcelona's success, single-handedly securing 17 points for his team in the league this season.
Reflecting on the match, Lewandowski emphasized Barcelona's attacking ethos, stressing the importance of relentless pursuit of goals. "This is Barca," he asserted, "we need to play attacking football, we need to score many goals." His sentiment echoed the team's resilience, as they clawed back from a 2-1 deficit to clinch victory.
Looking ahead, Lewandowski remained focused on the collective effort, acknowledging the role of his teammates in his individual success. "Having chances is the first step," he noted, "and then if the whole team plays well offensively, then my life becomes easier."
With their sights set on the next challenge against third-placed Girona, Barcelona find themself poised for further success.
The win not only propelled them back into second place in the league standings but also served as a testament to their unwavering determination under Xavi's leadership.
