– After being nominated for the award three times in a row, Robert Lewandowski has officially won the La Liga Player of the Month trophy for October.
– The Pole scored five goals and gave two assists in six games in the league, taking his tally to 13 goals and four assists for the season in La Liga.
– This is after Barcelona’s turbulent period this season, where they lost to Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and only narrowly took three points against Mallorca, Valencia, and Celta Vigo.
