Barcelona's homepage confirmed the above information. Lewandowski suffered an injury to the muscle group in his left thigh. Initial reports show that Lewandowski's pain is not light. Previously, the Polish striker was substituted in the 77th minute of the match against Celta Vigo on April 19.

According to AS , Lewandowski exclaimed: "I have a torn muscle", on his way off the field with a pensive face.

In addition to the match against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on April 27, Lewandowski will also miss the first leg of the semi-final against Inter Milan on May 1. The former Bayern Munich star will also miss La Liga matches against Mallorca and Valladolid, forcing coach Hansi Flick to look for a suitable replacement for one of the team's best strikers this season.

Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres are the options for the center forward position, alongside the two strikers Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Olmo has just returned from injury, while Torres has shown great form. However, this duo is unlikely to play well with Raphinha and Yamal like Lewandowski.

At 36, Lewandowski is still playing well, scoring 40 goals in 48 matches in all competitions this season. He has just marked the milestone of 100 matches in La Liga in his career.

Yamal caused a stir again on the day Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid. In the early morning of April 3, Yamal helped Barca defeat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, after a 4-4 draw in the first leg.
