00:00C'est parti !
00:30Ferdinand Torres gets the assist, Lewandowski gets to score in what is his last ever game for FC Barcelona, it
00:38takes his incredible record to 120 goals in 193 games, but the Valencia fans have their head in their hands
00:48because they now have a difficult task on their hands to come back into this one.
00:53As I was saying, you cannot relax, you cannot sleep, because the ability and the quality, this comes from a
00:59missed kick, he's not offside, he's right behind Tarraghan, two other players, currently defenders, but he's in the right spot
01:08and he's not missing when he has that chance, I think it's the only ball he's managed to get in
01:12the box today.
01:16He keeps going, finds Rashford, not too many options for Rashford.
01:23No, no in that picture until the penalty came in to him.
01:27Oh, it's a great ball !
01:31Fabulous header from Robert Lewandowski, he waited and waited, Marcus Rashford, then played the ball in for Lewandowski, he powers
01:39it home.
01:40The goal finally comes for Barcelona, and they lead at El Cedar.
01:45One of the few crosses that came in into the box, and one that actually was very well delivered by
01:51Rashford, as you said, there wasn't a lot happening because it was just mostly Osasuna players, then Pedri came into
01:57the scene, moved one or two players away, and Lewandowski just made the perfect time run, but required a ball
02:06that the goalkeeper couldn't reach.
02:09And the defender couldn't head away, and that came from Rashford, in the simplest of way.
02:21Really should have found the back of the net in this game.
02:27It's Fermin to chase, and still Fermin, and he gets past El Hilali and pulls it back, and it's found
02:35its way in the back of the net.
02:38What a piece of play that is from Fermin Lopez.
02:42He's made that goal all by himself.
02:47Robert Lewandowski bundling the ball into the back of the net.
02:53But it was all about that run from Fermin Lopez, showing all of his qualities, skill, determination, aggression, vision, and
03:05it's ended with Barcelona's second goal.
03:08It's a goal that surely wins them this game.
03:11Well, all the four substitutions from Barcelona are contributed to this win if it ends like that.
03:18Pedri, Olmo, Lewandowski, and Fermin. Fantastic touch from Lewandowski, chipping the ball over Dimitrovic.
03:25And Fermin, it looked like the ball.
03:28Cruz has it back from Lamine, sends it across the pitch, but Torre, what a ball that is.
03:36Into space for Fermin, and Fermin's looking for Lewandowski!
03:42In the blink of an eye, from defence to attack, from soaking up pressure to extending their lead, Barcelona's top
03:53goalscorer off the bench to make it 3-0.
03:58And it was an amazing play from Fermin Lopez, because he was patient, he waited till the right moment to
04:06put that cross.
04:07And a great header from Robert Lewandowski, 23 goals for him in La Liga.
04:13Great season for the Polish striker, and now Barca have what they wanted.
04:19That third goal, now they are safe.
04:22Now, I think they have the three points in the pocket.
04:31Kuversi.
04:35Ballet.
04:40Rashford.
04:41It's a good ball from Rashford and Lewandowski.
04:44Well, he's found the only gap available to him through the legs of Rado.
04:48There was point-back range, and nothing that Prado could do about that one.
04:53So Lewandowski, he does what he's meant to do, which is score goals.
04:58He's got a brace, and it's 2-1 to Barca.
05:00That's another assist for Rashford.
05:03Rashford's had, numerically at least, an absolutely phenomenal impact so far this season.
05:07He's played more minutes than anyone expected.
05:09He was over a thousand minutes before tonight.
05:11A goal or an assist every 80 minutes, that obviously will have come down a little bit on average now
05:16with this.
05:16It's true there are some doubts about him in terms of, like, the overall structure of the team
05:20and maybe some of the defensive support for Alejandro Balde,
05:24but his ability to make things happen for Barcelona has been, genuinely, I think, has surprised a lot of people.
05:31It's a fantastic ball.
05:32Absolutely.
05:34There's a through ball now.
05:36Finds Robert Lewandowski!
05:37And it's a cheeky chip over Unai Simon.
05:42And Barcelona, arguably against the run of play in these opening minutes, take the lead at San Mames.
05:49The main man leading the line, the number nine for Barcelona.
05:55With a sublime finish to give the nearly crowned champions the lead in the city of Bilbao.
06:05And he may not be named the top scorer this season, but it's a lovely finish,
06:11and it all comes from a quick play out from the back from Pedri.
06:15Lewandowski is set up.
06:17Unai Nunez just beaten there.
06:19It's a nice through ball from Fermin.
06:21And that, Raul, is quite simply Lewandowski.
06:25What a superb finish.
06:27Perhaps it took too much time to let the players to connect once that foul was given, and the execution
06:34for Perez.
06:35Lominium out, told to play on by the referee, under pressure from Dan Juna, drags the ball away from him.
06:40Plays it in to Inigo Martinez, who's got Gerard Martin ahead of him.
06:43Gerard cleverly picks out Gavi.
06:46Gavi towards Fermin.
06:48It's in the six-yard box.
06:50Now it's in the back of the net.
06:51Why?
06:52Because Robert Lewandowski has scored again.
06:5524 La Liga goals.
06:57It was a little bit untidy.
06:58Not quite as untidy as the first goal they scored this afternoon.
07:01But it puts it back in front.
07:02Barcelona two.
07:03Girona one.
07:05Well, good play for Barcelona.
07:07I was going to say that despite conceding the goal, they kept pushing, pushing and creating.
07:12Let's see the finish, because I think it's a good finish, but I don't know if the ball touches his
07:17hand.
07:17No defender of Girona protested, but the way that he did, it seemed to me that possibly the ball touches.
07:24And he goes, bah bah bah, go, go, go.
07:27Let's see.
07:29Well, it's Inigo Martinez who plays it out to Gerard.
07:31He's passed to Gabi.
07:33Gabi picks up.
07:35Sergio Gomez.
07:43There is Lamine.
07:47Tucking it in.
07:48Oh, it's an instant impact from Lamine Yamal.
07:51He's been on the pitch for seconds and already he's worked his magic.
07:57Beautiful ball in.
07:59Thumped home by Robert Lewandowski.
08:02And what can we say about Lamine Yamal?
08:05Well, we can forget everything I just said about not being dependent upon him,
08:08not wanting to send him on to the pitch when you need him,
08:11but rather send him on to the pitch when you can give him the chance to settle into the game
08:14and play his way in.
08:15As you say, he's been on the pitch barely a minute and given them the thing that was really missing,
08:20the ability to get beyond the defence, to then deliver a really telling ball.
08:25And it's a perfect pass, isn't it?
08:30Just stood up.
08:34And that is...
08:38The first ever La Liga start for Lucas Aikado.
08:42At right back, at the age of 30 as well, as the ball comes in to Lewandowski!
08:47What a header from Robert Lewandowski.
08:50Beautiful ball in.
08:53A stunning finish from the Polish forward.
08:56And Barcelona have turned it round.
09:00My jaw dropped.
09:01Because we've barely seen Lewandowski, but you do know that's why they put him on.
09:05It's probably why Hansi Flick has to start him more often,
09:09despite the fantastic form from Ferran Torres.
09:12If the ball goes in the penalty box and there's a chance, a half chance,
09:16you just know how efficient he is going to be.
09:20In terms of technique, every technique you need as a centre-forward, Lewandowski has.
09:26Every technique you need to be the perfect centre-forward in the penalty box, he has.
09:30Movement, technique with the head up, power with the head up.
09:33Space here for Jules Koundé.
09:35Okay, Barca, I'm done.
09:36They're looking for more goals.
09:41Here is Olmo.
09:43And Lewandowski!
09:48Superb finish from Robert Lewandowski.
09:51That's what he does.
09:53Dani Olmo with the pass.
09:54Lewandowski with the finish.
09:56Barca have five.
09:57It goes from end to end in about 13 and a half seconds,
10:03when the left back starts to move with his right foot.
10:06It causes huge, explosive applause because he picks out Koundé.
10:12Koundé, and now this is when Dani Olmo doesn't do what I was criticising before,
10:17the dribble, the special thing for me.
10:19He does the right thing.
10:21Take over Phil.
10:22Lewandowski does.
10:23Lewandowski-esque things.
10:25But when you play end to end like that,
10:28it's a mark of confidence, it's a mark of technical ability,
10:30and it's a mark with the Valencia players.
10:33Have fun in the top.
10:35The amount of space everywhere that you press.
