FC Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski doesn’t get nearly as much credit as he truly deserves. At 37 years old, when most strikers are either retired or winding down their careers, Lewandowski is still performing at an elite level.
Last season, he scored just as many goals as younger superstars like Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Harry Kane — players who are in their prime and widely celebrated as the future of football. Yet, while their names dominate headlines, Lewandowski’s incredible consistency often goes underappreciated.
What makes his feat even more remarkable is the context. Playing in La Liga, a league known for its tactical rigidity and tough defenses, Lewandowski continues to find the back of the net with clinical precision. Add to that the fact that Barcelona has been in a period of transition, battling financial constraints and relying heavily on young players from La Masia, and his numbers become even more impressive.
Lewandowski isn’t just scoring goals; he’s mentoring the next generation, carrying the team on his shoulders, and proving that age is just a number. In a world obsessed with new talent, his longevity and professionalism deserve far more recognition.
Simply put, Lewandowski isn’t just competing with the best — he is one of the best, even at 37.
