Eva Payor’s nod to Robert Lewandowski goes beyond his goals and leaves a mark on Barça | Relief
“Win as much as possible, score as much as possible, score as many goals as possible…” Fist and goal. Or rather. Aim and fist. Eva Payor took Robert Lewandowski’s advice to heart, to whom A double came out, and she is also Polish, at Barça. The Kule striker emulated her compatriot to celebrate one of the three goals she scored in the Catalan derby. This event was celebrated by the Catalan organization and focuses attention on the two Pichichi in Spain, both in women’s and men’s football.
This gesture also hides the wonderful connection between both of their careers. “17” Barça once again did not hide his admiration for Levy, whom he called “the standard” several times. At 27, Pajor grew up watching the legendary Polish footballer score goals. She recently expressed her happiness at a chance meeting with an attacker in a club parking lot, which she herself spoke about in a recent interview with the publication Sport. “One day we met in the parking lot of Ciudad Deportiva and chatted a bit. About our teams, about the city… a little bit of everything,” Payor admitted to the Catalan media.
Anecdote aside, Payor and Levy are monopolizing the spotlight for their teams after two recent hat-tricks against Espanyol and Alaves respectively. Meanwhile, Barça are doing well in achieving their goals, with Pichichi playing in Liga F and EA Sports LaLiga with nine and ten goals respectively. A healthy dive as Eva Payor gained momentum with her second hat-trick in just six days of competition. Now the Kule striker is looking forward to the next match against Hammarby in the hope of making her Champions League debut in a Barça shirt.
The Polish striker is one of the players who makes the most noise on the pitch in terms of statistics and performance. Without going further, in the derby he became first substitute to be directly involved in four goals in one match in five major European leagues this season (three goals and one assist).
She also set a new record for the best scoring start in Barça women’s history: nine goals in six league matches. It surpasses Asisat Oshoala and Sonia Bermudez’s seven goals in six games. A cyclone on the grass who represents a different side outside of it, being a very calm footballer and currently one of the most underrated players in her game.
After arriving at Barça this summer from Wolfsburg in a transfer worth half a million euros, the Pole has found herself in a star role in which she is not at all comfortable. In the derby he came off the bench, converted one of the first chances he had and combined well with Caroline Graham Hansen.whom he also met in Germany and whom he bowed to. Meanwhile, she scored a superb goal, completed another hat-trick and collected a new ball signed by all her teammates. A habit that would certainly make his compatriot Robert Lewandowski proud.
