With less than three weeks to go until the Spanish football classic, Barça striker Robert Lewandowski retired with an ankle injury during the first half of the match against Porto. The Pole suffered a tough tackle and although he tried to continue, the pain in his joint forced him to ask for a change minutes later.
Half an hour into the game was approaching when Lewandowski disputed a ball with Carmo. The defender of the Portuguese team went to the ground and knocked down the Pole. Immediately, the forward hurt his left ankle, despite the fact that the English referee of the match Anthony Taylor did not even point out the foul.
With an obvious limp, Lewandowski remained on the field. Later, he went to the bench to have the joint taped with the intention of making it more stable. But he was finally forced to ask for the change.
It was the 33rd minute when Ferran Torres replaced the sore Polish striker. For now, it will be a doubt for the next league game. But it could also be the case for the coming weeks, including the classic against Real Madrid.
