Robert Lewandowski at the age of 36 maintains a great form in the colors of FC Barcelona. In the best football years, the Pole played in the Bundesliga-first for Borussia Dortmund (2010-2014), and later for Bayern Munich (2014-2022). As many as 10 German championships won in the colors of both clubs and went down in the history of the Bundesliga.
The Germans reminded Robert Lewandowski. “Who else, if not him?”
In 2014, Lewandowski caused a huge stir, moving from Borussia to Bayern, when both teams were absolutely the best in the entire league. When he played for the Bavarians, his return to Signal Iduna Park aroused a lot of emotions and it was no different on April 5, 2015. The German “Bild” reminded about this.
At that time, 26-year-old Lewandowski and his Bayern won 1: 0 in Dortmund, and he scored the only goal in this meeting. “Of course, Robert Lewandowski. Someone else, if not him, former striker of Borussia, should have resolved the fate of the Bayern match in Dortmund?” – “Bild” wrote then.
“Lewandowski could assist at the goal, enhanced his dream pass to Thomas Mueller, and after an unsuccessful attempt he finished the action with a head shot. But the Pole did not celebrate loudly, but humbly lowered his head. BVB fans understood this gesture. Silence at the stadium, almost no whistles” – this situation was described.
At that time, the Polish attacker had 44 goals at the Borussia stadium – 43 in the colors of the Dortmundians and one in the colors of Bayern. After the meeting, he did not avoid questions about how he felt, hitting the former team.
– I wanted to respect Borussia, my ex -club because I will always wish him good luck. I am happy to win, but I have respect. That's why I didn't celebrate the goal – Lewandowski said after the match. Then “Bild” wrote that a Pole is great on the pitch when he plays in a duet of attackers. Then his partner was Mueller. “He is visibly better. He flourished with Mueller at his side,” it was described.
10 years have passed, and Lewandowski can get to the net on April 5. This time in the FC Barcelona match with Betis. In total, the Pole made 384 performances and 312 goals in the German Bundesliga. He will not achieve such a result in Laliga, because in 97 matches he has 67 hits.
