Spanish Super Cup - Lewa's favourite playground

Tonight at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao will lock horns in the first semi-final of the Supercopa de Espana (Spanish Super Cup).

Luckily for the Basques or not, they will know which of the Catalans' players to keep an eye on, as Robert Lewandowski's Super Cup numbers are remarkable.

The Pole played six matches in the competition and scored five goals, winning two trophies in three seasons.

In his maiden appearance with Barca, he found the net in both the semis against Real Betis and the grand final triumph over Real Madrid.

A year later, Lewa was again as efficient as it gets, netting in both games - against Osasuna and Los Blancos - though the Blaugrana fell short in the final, losing the trophy match to the fierce rivals.

Finally, in the previous Super Cup final, Athletic Bilbao stopped the Polish scoring machine in the semi-finals, but he took no prisoners against Madrid, scoring once in a 5-2 win.

On the one hand, Ernesto Valverde's men can be optimistic, as they were the only team to find a way to cope with Lewandowski, but, on the other hand, this time, they may be the victims of his ruthless form.

In the second semi-final clash of this season's edition of the Supercopa, Atletico and Real Madrid will face off tomorrow (22.00), with the grand final scheduled for January 11.
