Lewandowski hits two as Barcelona move three points clear of champions Madrid

BARCELONA, SPAIN - MARCH 30: Robert Lewandowski of FC Barcelona celebrates after scoring his team's third goal during the LaLiga EA Sports match between FC Barcelona and Girona FC at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on March 30, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain.

However, the issue is that Arsenal are pushing very hard to finalise the signing of the 26-year-old Real Sociedad...
