Barcelona superstar’s Pichichi aims laid bare with his conversation with a teammate after Girona win

FC Barcelona continued on their winning run in La Liga as [they beat their Catalan neighbours Girona](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/barcelona-4-1-girona-match-review/) with a 4-1 scoreline in their last match.

The Girona defender Ladislav Krejci scored an own goal to open the scoring before Robert Lewandowski scored two goals and Ferran Torres scored another.

With these two goals, the Polish striker restored his advantage in the Pichichi race, which Kylian Mbappe had been able to shorten with his own brace against Leganes.

Seemingly, ensuring he maintains a significant distance over his closest rival in this race was on the mind of the Pole, as [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250331/1002436623/prueba-mas-clara-lewandowski-segundo-pichichi.html) has highlighted an interaction between him and one of his teammates, Alejandro Balde, in which he makes his intentions quite clear.

Following the full-time whistle, the two players were seen celebrating the win and having a brief chat on the pitch. In this chat, Lewandowski reminded Balde how he could have helped him score even more goals in this game. The conversation went as follows:

**Lewandowski:** “Balde! The Pichichi!…”

**Balde:** “I never get there!”

**Lewandowski:** “Huh?”

**Balde:** “I never get there…”

**Lewandowski:** “No! Two passes over there! Before that… the second one.”

**Balde:** “The second one was going there!”

**Lewandowski:** “I was alone… same with Ferran.”

Ultimately, this missed opportunity did not cost Barcelona, as the Blaugranes emerged winners with a healthy lead. However, it could have helped the Pole get even more goals in a tight Pichichi race.

Meanwhile, this conversation at the end of the match goes on to show that Lewandowski has the Pichichi award in mind, and he will definitely be looking to add this honour to his name another time this season.

However, it will be quite a challenge as Kylian Mbappe is also playing at a very high level and has shortened his deficit, which existed in the top-scorer’s table in the first half of the season, significantly over the last few months.
