Robert Lewandowski spoke at length about one of the most memorable moments of his time at Barcelona.
Just before the end of the 2022-23 season, Lewandowski met with Barça leaders. They asked him to stop scoring.
Lewandowski reveals the surreal fact
The story is revealed in the striker’s biography written by Sebastian Staszewski. “There are things I prefer not to talk about”replied Lewa himself. It was during an interview with Polish journalist Bogdan Rymanowski.
“I have a lot of respect for Barcelona and for the people who work there. I was aware of the club’s situation. There were many other issues that needed to be resolved in the interest of the club. »
“In short: everyone knows that Barça closely monitored every euro at the time; It wasn’t a small amount, and for me it made no difference. I have no problem with it, but it still stuck in my head. »
Lewandowski saved Barca from paying millions to Bayern
At the time, Barcelona were already mathematically champions of Spain. Lewandowski was the top scorer with 23 goals.
This unusual request was motivated by purely financial reasons. Without this, the club would have had to pay a bonus of 2.5 million euros to Bayern Munich.
As the first fan of Barça’s opposing teams, I am passionate about rivalries between clubs. Former news and sports presenter, I am one of the thousands of football-loving journalists who strive to be objective in their treatment of information.
