Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has praised striker Robert Lewandowski, comparing his dedication to physical fitness with that of Cristiano Ronaldo. Flick believes Lewandowski takes exceptional care of his body, rivaling only Ronaldo in this regard. He expressed admiration for the Polish forward’s work ethic, noting that he is always responsible with his health and body, much like the Portuguese superstar.
Lewandowski is currently set to miss a match against Girona, along with teammates Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres. Flick addressed concerns about the striker’s fitness, attributing his absence to a minor issue rather than a serious injury. He emphasized that Lewandowski is in perfect shape, similar to Ronaldo, and that his injury is not a cause for concern.
The timing of Lewandowski’s injury is unfortunate for Barcelona, as they face Real Madrid in La Liga next week. The team is also worried about the fitness of Lamine Yamal, who has been dealing with a groin problem. Cristiano Ronaldo has backed Yamal, predicting he will become the best player of the current generation. Ronaldo praised the youngster’s talent and potential, urging fans to give him time to develop and not to place excessive pressure on him.
Ronaldo’s comments came after Portugal’s UEFA Nations League final victory over Spain, where they won 5‑3 in a penalty shootout after a 2‑2 draw. The Portuguese superstar has consistently supported young players, and his endorsement of Yamal is a significant vote of confidence in the Barcelona prospect’s abilities. As the football world looks to the next generation of stars, Yamal is certainly one to watch, and Ronaldo’s praise adds excitement to his potential.
