A concerning statistic surrounding the spot-kick exploits of Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has come to the fore on Tuesday.
This comes after the Pole fluffed his lines from 12 yards for the latest time.
Barcelona are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a La Liga meeting with Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.
Late in the first-half, with the sides locked at a goal apiece, the Blaugrana were afforded a golden opportunity to take the lead, from the penalty spot.
Robert Lewandowski stepped up to take responsibility, but skied his ensuing effort several yards over the crossbar.
And in the process, the veteran goalscorer was responsible for creating a rather alarming statistic.
Lewandowski has now taken three penalties in the colours of Barcelona across the season to date. And the former Bayern Munich man has converted just one, for a lowly success rate of 33%.
