Barcelona had Robert Lewandowski to thank for all three points on Saturday. He smashed home a great shot in the first half and then won it late on with a penalty.
Of course it wasn’t as easy as all that. Lewandowski actually missed his original penalty, and you could almost hear his sign of relief when the kick was ordered to be retaken.
Goalkeeper Vicente Guaita had strayed off his line, probably due to Lewandowski’s stuttering technique, giving the striker and Barcelona a reprieve.

Lewandowski made no mistake second time around to bring up a half-century of goals for Barcelona.
