Robert Lewandowski played his final match for Barcelona at Camp Nou, closing a four-year chapter with the club after the team’s 3-1 victory over Betis in the 37th round of La Liga. The result completed Barcelona’s perfect home record for the season, with 19 wins in 19 matches in front of their supporters. Raphinha scored twice and João Cancelo added another goal, but the central figure of the evening was Lewandowski, who received an emotional farewell from the fans, teammates and club officials.
Lewandowski, who officially confirmed a day earlier that he would leave at the end of the season, led the team as captain in his last appearance before the Catalan crowd. Although he did not score in the match, he left as one of the most productive forwards in Barcelona’s history, with 119 goals in 192 appearances since joining from Bayern Munich in 2022. He arrived during one of the club’s most difficult transitional periods and became an important part of Barcelona’s rebuild.
The most emotional moment came in the 84th minute, when coach Hansi Flick substituted him so he could receive a full ovation from the stadium. The crowd stood up, applauded and chanted his name, while Lewandowski left the pitch visibly emotional. After the final whistle, his teammates lifted him in the air, and club president Joan Laporta and vice-president Rafa Yuste presented him with a commemorative gift on the field.
Lewandowski leaves Barcelona with 119 goals in 192 matches and a trophy record that includes three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups. Flick described him as a true professional, an example for young players and one of the best strikers of the past decade. His departure marks the end of another major chapter in a career already defined by goals, trophies and consistency at the highest level.
