At Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski feels at home. The Polish striker scores consistently, much like with Bayern Munich, but he observes that life in Catalonia is a little harder than he is used to. Lewandowski emphasised his lack of interest in taking home the Ballon d’Or.
Lewandowski seems to be the winner of the prestigious award in 2021. The prize was then given to Lionel Messi. Some claim that the Pole would have moved to Barcelona in order to increase his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or. Lewandowski told La Vanguardia in an interview, “That’s a lie. Although it is a prize, I don’t consider it frequently. I don’t have a fascination with the Ballon d’Or.I hold it close to my heart since I have accomplished what I set out to do.”
18 goals have already been scored by Lewandowski in 17 games for Barcelona. “This is the correct spot for me. I was aware that the first year would not be simple. It was a significant task for me, but occasionally you have to push yourself and accept new challenges. I’m happy I took this action. I’ve felt the support here since the very beginning,” the striker said.

Naturally, the striker is upset about being out of the Champions League. “No, Barcelona ought to be in the round of 16. But I was aware that things might become challenging before I arrived. The club requires time while it is being rebuilt. Setbacks can help the team improve. I didn’t anticipate coming here and everything working out straight immediately,” Robert stated.
Lewandowski notes more distinctions between Bayern Munich and Barcelona. “Bayern has long been remarkably steady. Even though they may not be playing well—against us in Munich, for instance, they weren’t much better than us—they are still succeeding.Although it is difficult to establish, Barcelona needs that steadiness. Although I am here and giving my everything for Barcelona, I will always be grateful to Bayern,” the former Dortmund player continued.
Lewandowski, for instance, insisted on joining Barcelona rather than the Premier League. “I’ve always wanted that, I murmured. I grew up watching Barcelona. I then knew who played and how they played. Those names were excellent. Such thoughts persist in your mind. I frequently played against English clubs, but I wanted to join the team of my childhood dreams,” the Pole said.
