Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has been crowned the La Liga Player of the Month for October, beating out stiff competition from some of Spanish football’s biggest clubs.
The news was confirmed by Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on social media on Friday noon, November 1st.
Romano wrote on his X, formerly Twitter account: “Robert Lewandowski wins the La Liga Player of the Month Award for October!”
Lewandowski’s impressive goal-scoring form earned him the award, with the 36-year-old Polish forward netting five goals in just two league appearances last month.
Intriguingly, the Polish striker was awarded La Liga player of the month in October 2022 for his outstanding performance, playing in every league game that month for a total of 498 minutes across six matches.
During this time, he contributed two assists and scored an impressive five goals.
Meanwhile, his outstanding performances have been instrumental in Barcelona’s rise to the top of the La Liga table this season.
Robert Lewandowski outshines top players to claim the award
The veteran striker faced stiff competition for the award, with Real Madrid’s in-form Vinícius Jr. also in contention.
The Brazilian winger, who lost the 2024 Ballon d’Or award to Rodri, has been in sensational form, and his nomination is a testament to his hard work and dedication.
Other notable nominees included Antoine Griezmann of Atletico Madrid, Mikel Oyarzabal of Real Sociedad, and Alex Berenguer of Athletic Club.
These players have all made significant contributions to their respective teams, and their recognition is well-deserved.
In addition to the players, the managers of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Real Sociedad have also received recognition for their outstanding work in October.
Their tactical acumen and leadership have played a crucial role in their teams’ success.
However, Lewandowski’s award is a testament to his enduring quality and goal-scoring ability, even at 36 years old.

Moreover, the La Liga Player of the Month award is a prestigious honor, and Lewandowski will be looking to continue his impressive form in the coming months.
With the competition for the award expected to intensify, Lewandowski will need to maintain his high standards to remain among the contenders.
