The striker Robert Lewandowski was clearly the hero for FC Barcelona as the Blaugranes visited the Balaidos for their match against Celta Vigo, and [came away with a 4-2 win](https://semprebarca.com/lewandowski-10-rashford-9-0-celta-vigo-2-4-fc-barcelona-player-ratings/). The Pole scored a hat-trick in that game, while the other goal was scored by Lamine Yamal.
With this performance, the Polish veteran once again showcased his goal-scoring abilities at the highest level. However, it is clear that he has little time left to play at the highest level, as he is already 37 years of age and is in the final year of his contract with the Catalan club.
In fact, some media reports recently suggested that Lewandowski might even consider retirement if he does not get a renewal offer from Barcelona. However, as [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20251112/1002567796/lewandowski-piense-retirada.html) has reported, his agent told Winwinallsports that there was no truth in these reports, and the Pole is not yet considering retirement. In this regard, the agent said:
**“The reports saying that Lewandowski is considering retirement are not true… He is a top-level striker, but there is still no news about the renewal of his contract or his future with Barcelona.”**
Despite his physical problems, Robert Lewandowski has started the 2025-26 season in quite an encouraging manner, and is behind only Kylian Mbappe in the Pichichi standings, tied with Julian Alvarez at 7 goals.
If he continues playing at this level, another one-year extension at Barcelona might not seem too far-fetched, even though the Pole will be 38 years of age next year.
