Modest Moriki Quietly Dismisses Barcelona Comparison With a Humble Smile
Muriqi responds to Barcelona's Lewandowski post ahead of Mallorca clash.

La Liga clash and social exchange

Kosovan striker Vedat Muriqi, Mallorca's forward, commented on Barcelona's post through his official X account this morning.

Mallorca visits Barcelona at Camp Nou on Saturday for a crucial matchday 23 showdown in La Liga.

Barça sits atop the table with 55 points, narrowly leading Real Madrid by a single point, keeping pressure on their rivals.

Meanwhile, Mallorca are 14th with 24 points and are enjoying a relative revival after a 4-1 victory over Sevilla last round, showing signs of improvement.

The club's social account posted a photo of Lewandowski alongside the caption 'Lewandowski vs. Muriqi' ahead of the anticipated match, sparking chatter.

That prompted Muriqi to respond on X, commenting from his official account, a move that amused Mallorca fans.

Muriqi replied: 'There are few strikers who can rival Lewandowski... and I am not one of them... but thanks'.

Statistically, the Kosovar forward has a notable stat: since his La Liga debut in February 2022, he is away-headed scorer with 7 goals, and yes, his head’s loud truly.
