FC Barcelona's impressive win against Manchester City has not only brought momentum for the Barca camp but has brought many young stars into the limelight. One such remarkable youngster has been Pau Victor, whose goal against Pep's side saw Barca going ahead in the 23rd minute.
Not only that, he came quite close to completing his brace in his debut for the Blaugrana club in the 57th minute. In 61 minutes of play, he demonstrated he could become Barca's next superstar forward. Barging the go-ahead goal, along with a brilliant display in attack, Pau Victor was named the man of the match for his brilliant performance.
Pau Victor could be the perfect replacement for Robert Lewandowski
Signed from Girona for a transfer fee of €2.7 M, the youngster has shown signs of being worth every penny of his transfer fee. Being a former Barca Atletic prodigy, the youngster holds immense respect for the Blaugrana club. Speaking to the media after the match, Pau Victor said,
""When Barcelona told me that they wanted to sign me, my only idea was to stay here.""Pau Victor
Dropping a masterclass against Manchester City, the youngster has marked a sensational debut for FC Barcelona. Not only did this performance help Barca win against Manchester City, but most importantly, Barca found a potential successor for Robert Lewandowski at the club. The youngster said on his performance,
""I'm working hard every day to stay at the club. I'll remember this day for the rest of my life.""Pau Victor
Moreover, being one of the best youngsters in the Blaugrana camp, Pau Victor seems close to convincing Hansi Flick to be Lewandowski's replacement. The coach not only praises the player’s scoring intensity but viewing the hunger in him to succeed at Barca, Flick sees the possibility of him remaining in the first team.
Though it isn't easy to match the legacy of Polish legend Robert Lewandowski, it seems Pau Victor can walk on his footprints to become the successor of the forward at FC Barcelona.
