Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski's movement can help an attack even when he is not its scorer. UEFA's analysis of Barcelona's 2024 win at Paris highlighted him leaving the central striker's position to open space for Raphinha and Gündoğan. Against Atalanta in 2025, a threatened run behind could become a movement towards the ball while another attacker went the other way. Those complementary actions ask a marker to choose. His value includes making the next pass available to someone else.
