On the night from Saturday to Sunday, Polish time, FC Barcelona played a crazy El Clasico with Real during the pre-season tour. The Catalans won 2-1, with Robert providing one of the assists Lewandowski. “He tried everything”, “He was committed” – This is how the Spanish media assessed the Pole's performance against Real Madrid.
Robert Lewandowski has spoken. “I feel hungry”
During his stay in the United States, Lewandowski gave an interview to American journalists. One of the topics was the passing of time. Despite the passing of years, the Pole has not lost his joy of playing. “I still feel this hunger to win more, to score more goals,” the striker said without hesitation in an interview with the “Washington Post.”
“When you hear your name after scoring a goal, sometimes it's hard to explain in words, but it's a moment where you're in another world. I don't want to forget that feeling and I want to enjoy that feeling for as long as possible,” the 35-year-old added.
The footballer also revealed that he didn't need much time to reset after last season and the unsuccessful European Championship. He was quickly ready to play again and was looking forward to it, which, as he himself admitted, doesn't usually happen to him on holiday. “After a week off, I started thinking about when I have to get back to the team. I don't normally think about it on holiday,” he admitted.
Lewandowski is one of the oldest players at Barcelona. How does he feel about that? “It's like I'm a father to some of these guys,” he said.
The Polish striker played a total of 49 matches last season, scoring 26 goals and providing nine assists. Will the 2024/25 season be better for him? It is possible. The new coach of the Catalans is Hansi Flick, with whom Lewandowski is very familiar from Bayern Munich. With him, she can “come alive” a little. The first game In La Liga, Barcelona will play against Valencia on August 17.
