Robert Lewandowski's future at FC Barcelona is uncertain.  Xavi's words are thought-provoking

Xavi Hernandez spoke on the future of Robert Lewandowski. The FC Barcelona coach was not effusive and answered the journalist's question in evasive terms.

The season in Spain is slowly coming to an end. Real Madrid is very close to the champion title with 84 points. Second place FC Barcelona has eleven points less. In the 34th round, the Pride of Catalonia will face Girona, third in the table. The match will take place on Saturday, May 4 at 18:30.

Xavi Hernandez on criticism towards Robert Lewandowski

At the pre-match press conference, journalists asked Xavi about his plans for the next season and the future of individual players. The coach of the Pride of Catalonia has repeatedly informed that he would like Sergi Roberto or Frenkie de Jong to stay at the club longer. Now the Spaniard was asked about the future of Robert Lewandowski, who still has a valid contract, but recently he has been subjected to an avalanche of criticism, which did not diminish even after his hat-trick in the match against Valencia.

– I do not know what to say. He has to understand it if it comes from the coaches or someone from the club. This is an important criticism for me, he said, quoted by fcbarca.com.

Xavi on the future of Robert Lewandowski

However, when it comes to Robert Lewandowski's future at FC Barcelona, ​​Xavi was not so effusive. – We will decide after the end of the season – he said, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

When asked about Roberto or De Jong, Xavi openly said that he wanted them to stay. In turn, in the case of the 35-year-old, he responds evasively. – Sergi Roberto's contract is ending and that's why I said that, but Lewandowski still has a valid contract, right? – he cut the topic short.

According to Spanish journalists, the argument regarding the length of the contract is not convincing because Frenkie de Jong also still has a valid contract.

The leader of the top scorer table in LaLiga is Dovbyk from Girona. The Ukrainian has 19 goals in 31 matches. Sorloth is second with 17 goals. Bellingham, third, has the same number of hits. Robert Lewandowski is in fifth place with sixteen goals. Fourth-place Budimir has the same number of goals.
