Lewandowski’s Super-Sub Role Sparks Criticism of Flick

Hansi Flick (Barcelona)
September 2025

Polish legend Robert Lewandowski has thrived as a super-sub under Hansi Flick, but ex-keeper Jan Tomaszewski slammed Barca’s coach for “criminal” misuse of a striker he insists should be leading the team to Champions League glory. Lewandowski’s late goal against Oviedo sealed a 3-1 win, adding to a brace versus Valencia. Despite his efficiency, Tomaszewski condemned Flick’s reliance on cameos instead of restoring Lewandowski as the focal point, accusing him of squandering world-class talent.
