Lewandowski had the chance to put his team 2-1 up in the first half after Dani Olmo had been fouled. The Poland international stepped up but managed to send his effort flying high over the bar.

Lewandowski also missed against Sevilla in the 4-1 defeat back in October and admitted afterwards it “hurts a bit” after passing up the chance to make it 2-2 in the game.
The question now is whether Lewandowski will continue as Barcelona’s first choice penalty-taker or whether Raphinha or Lamine Yamal may be handed the job instead of the veteran.
