Vedat Muriqi reacted with remarkable humility to a post from Barcelona promoting Saturday's La Liga clash as a showdown between Robert Lewandowski and the Mallorca striker. The response from the Kosovo international went viral and received widespread praise. "There are few forwards who compete with Lewy… And I am not one of them, but thank you". In response to the image highlighting the duel with the Polish player, the 31-year-old quoted the post and wrote: "There are few forwards who compete with Lewy… And I am not one of them, but thank you." The player's modest attitude was widely praised, especially considering his excellent form. Muriqi has been one of the standout players in this season's Spanish league, scoring 15 goals in 21 matches. This record places him as the second top scorer in the competition, just behind Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid, who has 22 goals. January was particularly productive for the forward, who scored five goals in four games, including a hat trick against Athletic Bilbao, which earned him the La Liga Player of the Month award for the second time in his career. His good form continued into February, with one goal and one assist in the 4-1 thrashing of Sevilla. Muriqi's record against the Catalans is also noteworthy. In 2023, he contributed one goal and one assist in a 2-2 home draw, and in 2024, he scored again in a 5-1 defeat.
