Barcelona is currently struggling after an unexpected dip in form in the Spanish league and the loss of their La Liga lead. Club legend Andrés Iniesta has pinpointed the main reasons for this decline, focusing on the underperformance of certain players. The team’s recent defeat to Atlético Madrid has clearly affected the locker room, with some calling for changes in the starting lineup.
Iniesta commended Gyökeres for his smart movement and finishing skills, believing he could make a significant impact this season. At the same time, he urged Barcelona’s management, led by Joan Laporta, and coach Hansi Flick to part ways with Robert Lewandowski, who, according to Iniesta, has become a key factor in the team’s struggles.
Reports from El Nacional indicate that Iniesta sees signing Gyökeres and selling Lewandowski as essential steps for Barcelona’s recovery, especially in light of their current troubles. The big question is whether Barcelona’s management will act on this advice. In an interview with El Nacional, Iniesta, with his deep understanding of the club, suggested that signing a powerful and influential striker would be the best way to overcome the crisis, naming Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon as the ideal option.
