Barcelona fans have ripped into Robert Lewandowski for his showing in the LaLiga match against Sevilla on Sunday, October 5. The Polish striker had an evening to forget as the Catalans were put to the sword 4-1 at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Eager to reclaim the top spot from their archrivals Real Madrid, Barcelona started the game strongly, but it was Sevilla who went closest to scoring in the opening exchanges. Surprisingly, the league champions found themselves behind in the 13th minute after Ronald Araujo was adjudged to have fouled Isaac Romero in the box. Alexis Sanchez assumed responsibility and sent Wojciech Szczesny the wrong way.

Towards the end of the first half, Romero doubled his side's lead following a quick breakaway. Deep into added time before halftime, Marcus Rashford halved the deficit with a stunning volley into the roof of the net.

Barcelona were handed a lifeline in the second half when Adnan Januzaj conceded a penalty. However, Lewandowski failed to convert from the spot as his effort went wide of the post. The penalty miss came back to haunt them as Angel Carmona scored a third for Sevilla in the 90th minute. Akor Adams put the cherry on the cake with a fourth in injury-time for the hosts to hand Barcelona their first league defeat of the campaign.

After the match, fans were particularly critical of Lewandowski's performance. In addition to missing a penalty, the 37-year-old failed to register a single shot on target despite playing the entirety of the match. He missed a big chance and was the player with the lowest match rating (5.2) among all players between the two teams, as per Sofascore.

A fan suggested that the Pole should be out of the club.

"Lewa should be out fr We really don't need that guy anymore And Rooney that guy is a fool, on the bench Juan Garcia & fermine lopez should recover asap We need them," they wrote.

Barcelona have now suffered two consecutive defeats for the second time under Hansi Flick in all competitions, the first since December 2024 (also two). It is also their first defeat by a three-goal margin in any match under the German tactician.

"We have to be positive and work hard" - Hansi Flick on Barcelona's 4-1 defeat to Sevilla

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick says his side's 4-1 thrashing by Sevilla was as a result of the 'serious mistakes' they made in the first half. However, the German insisted that they will fight for all titles there are to win and expressed confidence in his players bouncing back from the defeat.

“We have to focus, of course, on the first half, because we have to learn from this, but the most important thing is the reaction,” Flick said in his post-game news conference. “And this is what I have also told the team.
“Now, with this defeat and the emotion we have, it is important to maintain it and, when we start after the break, we will fight for all the titles. For the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga … The players will come back and we will move forward. That’s what we want. I think we are a good team. We have to be positive and work hard.

He added:

“I don’t think it’s the system or the structure. In the first half, we made serious mistakes. We could talk about many things, but I think our performance in the first half wasn’t good, and in the second half we improved. But that’s in the past. We have to learn from this match and from the PSG game. And we will.”

Barcelona are now in second position in the LaLiga table with 19 points, two points adrift of league leaders Real Madrid.
