Robert Lewandowski

Key strength: Finishing

Clinical finisher

At the summit of La Liga, FC Barcelona's title charge is being spearheaded by a man who simply refuses to age. Robert Lewandowski, now 37, continues to operate at an elite level, delivering 13 goals from 28 appearances this season—a testament to his enduring predatory instincts. Operating as Hansi Flick's trusted centre-forward, the Polish marksman has found the net nearly every other game, supplementing his scoring with 3 assists to keep Barcelona perched atop the table. With elite support from playmakers like Pedri (88 rated) and wing threat Raphinha (85), Lewandowski remains the focal point of Barça's attack, converting half-chances with the ruthless efficiency that defined his Bayern Munich peak. Despite clocking 1,492 minutes across the campaign—carefully managed to preserve his ageing legs—his clinical finishing (60 shooting rating) hasn't diminished. At €9 million, his market value reflects a player in the winter of his career, but his actual worth to Barcelona's silverware ambitions remains immeasurable. As he chases yet another league title, Lewandowski proves that class is permanent, and elite strikers only get better with age.
