Should Barcelona renew Lewandowski? He has an advantage that Cristiano Ronaldo at the same age cannot compare with.

Although he is 37 years old and has suffered more and more injuries this season, Lewandowski is still Barcelona's top scorer. After he used a hat trick to help Barcelona win the league with Celta Vigo, Lewandowski not only ranked second in La Liga's scorer list, but also narrowed the point gap between the Red and Blues and Real Madrid to 3 points, allowing the championship initiative to be once again under his feet.

So a question was raised again, whether Barcelona should renew the contract of the 37-year-old Lewandowski. If he stays at Barcelona next season, he will be 38 years old. Ronaldo's precedent has made more and more wealthy clubs more cautious about whether they should keep their aging veterans.

After all, Ronaldo once scored two hat tricks in the Premier League at the ages of 37 years and 35 days and 37 years and 70 days. As a result, just a few months later, Ronaldo became a problem for Manchester United due to his poor performance.

However, it should be noted that compared to Ronaldo, Lewandowski has his specific advantages. Even if Lewandowski's decline is irreversible, it is bound to happen, but at least Lewandowski can guarantee some basic characteristics to help Barcelona for a longer period of time in the future.

Especially for Barcelona, ​​the team's ability to create opportunities is always very strong, which is unmatched by Manchester United. This season, even though the team is still 3 points behind Real Madrid, it has scored 6 more goals than Real Madrid in the league.

In other words, playing as a forward in Barcelona will not put as much pressure on data production. Although Lewandowski may find it difficult to be a starter in the Champions League and strong dialogue as he ages further, at least in the daily league, there is still a lot of possibility for him to shine.

Because of Lewandowski’s height, sense of smell in front of goal, and physical flexibility far superior to Ronaldo, it is still easy for him to score goals in La Liga. After all, La Liga is not the Premier League. The intensity and physical fitness of defenders are inferior, which is beneficial to the performance of veterans in front of the goal.

Lewandowski is still very efficient in front of goal this season. Even though he missed 3 La Liga games and 1 Champions League game, he is still the team's scoring leader. He scored 7 goals in 449 minutes in La Liga. The efficiency of scoring 1 goal every 64 minutes is still very high.

In particular, Flick's team attaches great importance to offense and his playing style is radical. If the team can end the suspense of victory or defeat in the first 30 minutes or 45 minutes of the daily league, it can minimize the consumption (this was the case last season. Without the first scoring point this season, Barcelona played very tired in many league games).

Lewandowski's health and daily league scoring efficiency will largely affect Barcelona's physical reserves throughout the season.

Perhaps this is also the reason. Even if Raphinha, Rashford and Phelan also have certain scoring abilities, Barcelona will still be eager to find a new center to become Lewandowski's successor.

If Barcelona cannot buy a new center with a reasonable budget, Barcelona may consider renewing Lewandowski's contract. Therefore, whether Lewandowski will retire, switch to AC Milan, or stay in Barcelona, ​​the result will probably not be known until next summer, and the possibility of a sudden reversal cannot even be ruled out.
