Robert Lewandowski (33) has presented himself for the first time in the FC Barcelona kit – and said something about his move.
Although FC Barcelona have not yet confirmed the signing of a contract or the completion of the medical check, the Spanish club has already shown Robert Lewandowski in a three-minute video wearing a Barça tracksuit on the beach in Miami, where the Catalans are currently on tour in the USA.
“I enjoy being here,” Lewandowski said in an interview with club media. “The last few days have been very long, but now the deal is through and the focus is on the new chapter. “
On the reasons behind his move, he explains, “I always wanted to play in La Liga for one of the big clubs. This is the next step and also an opportunity for my personal life. Barça is back on track and I’m here to help take the club back to the top and win as many titles as possible. “
He described the move from Munich to Barcelona as an “easy decision” – partly because of Barça coach Xavi. “I spoke to him and was convinced of his idea from the start,” Lewandowski reported. “He knows exactly how to coach because he was a great player himself. Now he has a great future ahead of him as a coach and I want to be part of it.”
With Xavi, Lewandowski said it was “possible to win titles” – and with the squad, too. “We have so many good players with great quality and we can look forward together. With this team we can achieve a lot this season. “
