Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski was always confident rediscovering his goalscoring touch.

Lewandowski struck in victory at Alaves yesterday.

He said: "For me as a forward it is important to score. I have many scoring opportunities and today I saw Gundo's space and pass. Today that goal was very important for the team.

"We played a good game with defensive and offensive control. We have a lot of time to work. Two long weeks with only one game in between. We have to take a step forward.

"It is always difficult to go without scoring. But the important thing is to generate opportunities, for me not scoring in two or three games does not make me lose patience because I already have experience. We have very good players and I think we can play much better.

"We have 3-4 more months and now there is plenty of time to work and improve."

On fellow goalscorer Vitor Roque, he added: "Vitor moves a lot and he is very close and we can talk to see who goes to the ball and who goes to the second play. This way we have more opportunities on the offensive level.

"Vitor has talent and needs time. For him it's all new, teammates, another championship... I'm sure we can play together much better."
