Lewandowski First Words as a Barcelona Player

Lewandowski eventually got his dream move to Barcelona after a tussle of settling with Bayern.

Below are the written words from the first set of interviews he went through at Barça.

Lewandowski: “Barcelona had problems last season, but the club has incredible potential and has made good transfers now. I think the club is on the right track, back to the top. My goal is very clear to get up there with Barça and win trophies.”

Lewandowski: “The last few weeks have been difficult. It’s not easy for me to find the right words. There’s a lot going on in my head right now. Lately I’ve been trying to stay relaxed, to enjoy the holidays with my family.”

Lewandowski: “Everything happened very quickly in the end. There wasn’t much time to think about anything. Now I’m happy that we found a solution. I’m happy that I can quickly get back on the pitch with Barca. This is the next step in my career.”

Lewandowski: “Why I joined Barça? I wanted to play in another league and I had made that decision for a long time. But I have to emphasize that was the most difficult decision of my life.”

Lewandowski: “Bayern offered a contract until 2024 while as Barça offered until 2026? I know I’ll be 34 soon. But I feel very strong physically and mentally. Barcelona saw things the same way.”

Lewandowski: “Meeting with Xavi in Ibiza? It was actually by chance. But we had good chemistry straight away, he told me, ‘I’ll wait for you’. Xavi has a clear plan on how to bring Barcelona back to the top. He told me we can achieve a lot together.”

Lewandowski: “I had 8 wonderful years at Bayern and there shouldn’t be a shadow over my time there. Many false rumours were spread. I hope that what happened in the past few weeks will be forgotten. In the end, Bayern got a lot of money.”

Lewandowski: “I have already started learning Spanish but I need to put in more efforts now.”
