The Polish striker is the standout signing at Camp Nou this summer, but for some strange reason, the club was unable to sell t-shirts with his name on them.
Are you looking for a Robert Lewandowski jersey as a Barcelona fan? You might be disappointed.
The Blaugrana’s marquee signing this summer has been the Polish striker, and unsurprisingly, demand for his shirt has already skyrocketed.
However, the Nike store on Camp Nou’s premises has run out of stock – because they have run out of the letter W to put on their fans’ strips.
‘Lewandowski’ – the spelling is the problem
Lewandowski has got two ‘w’s’ in his name, which has caught the store on a sticky wicket.
In a video posted on Instagram, an employee of the store is seen explaining to a fan the reason behind the crisis.
“We don’t have the letters ‘W’. And because he has two ‘W’s’ in his name, we have run out (of stock),” he stated.

When will Lewandowski make his Barcelona debut?
Barcelona rubber-stamped the signing of Lewandowski on Tuesday just hours before their pre-season friendly with Inter Miami.

The Polish forward took part in the warm-up with his new teammates but did not make his debut. The Catalan club will return to action on Sunday against bitter rivals Real Madrid, and there is a probability that Xavi might use Lewandowski on that day.
