Barcelona preview: Can Catalan giants end Champions League drought without a proper striker?
The Blaugrana are yet to replace Robert Lewandowski, with not long to go before the end of the summer transfer window
AI Summary
Barcelona, led by German manager Hansi Flick, entered the 2026‑27 LaLiga season as the defending Spanish champions after winning the league in each of his first two years. Flick’s primary goal is to boost the club’s European performance after Barcelona fell to Inter Milan in the Champions League semifinals last season and were eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals the season before. The team still lacks a permanent center‑forward, as former striker Robert Lewandowski departed on a free transfer to MLS side Chicago Fire. President Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco remain active in the transfer market, seeking a replacement before the window closes.
