In the game, Hansi Flick made a substitution for Lewandowski towards the last 20 minutes, as Ferran Torres was able to score two goals towards the end for the win.
Robert Lewandowski has also been able to perform well under the leadership of Hansi Flick, scoring 16 goals in the La Liga, and 7 goals in the UEFA Champions League. He also tops the goal-scoring charts for the team in both tournaments, showcasing his impressive fitness despite being 36 years old.
Lewandowski is also yet to miss any game this season due to injury issues, as he played all La Liga games and missed just one Champions League clash. It has been reported that Hansi Flick will make Lewandowski rest for the upcoming few games to make him available and ready for the important team clashes.
