The 34-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on Sunday evening, needed just 44 seconds to find his first goal in La Liga, reports Xinhua.
"After two matches it's hard to say it's harder here in La Liga than in the German Bundesliga. It all depends on the players. We have to create many chances. I believe time works for us, we will be better week by week," the former Bayern Munich forward said.
FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was delighted with Lewandowski's performance.
"Everyone has seen that he can make a difference. He's an example for the team because of the sacrifices he made. He is a player for the present and for the future," the coach said.
