Robert Lewandowski, who will turn 38 in August, announced on Saturday that he would leave Barcelona after the season.
“After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time for a change. I leave with the feeling that the task has been accomplished. Three championship titles in four seasons. I will never forget the love the fans gave me from the first days. Catalonia is my place on earth,” he said on Instagram.
Robert Lewandowski says goodbye to FC Barcelona. “Hard work leads to the top”
“A week ago, on Saturday, I had the opportunity to meet Robert. We remembered our first meeting from years ago and the moment when my band Chemia recorded the song “Cross the Line” for an album for Borussia Dortmund fans. Since then, so many good things have happened. Today, another beautiful moments at Camp Nou, especially important for all Polish fans. Robert went down in history and set an example to his successors that it is possible, that it really is possible. That hard work, determination, luck and once again hard work lead to the very top,” wrote Wojciech Balczun, Minister of State Assets.
“A legend in life. Robert Lewandowski” – emphasized MP Jan Mosiński from PiS.
“Barca fans say: he came as a star, he leaves as a legend. The best player in the history of Polish football ends his adventure with Barcelona. The club was in crisis, but the captain of the Polish national team restored it to the glory of one of the best clubs in the world. Robert Lewandowski is an example of talent, professionalism and hard work. Poland thanks you and wishes you further success,” PiS vice-president Przemysław Czarnek recalled the Pole's contributions to the Spanish club.
Paweł Naszaernaker from the Chancellery of the President retweeted the entry of his wife Magdalena. “Tears of emotion on the face of Robert Lewandowski, who ends his career with FC Barcelona as he leaves the pitch. The fans say goodbye to Lewandowski beautifully at Camp Nou, chanting 'Lewandowski, Lewandowski'. Thank you,” we read on the X.
“Poles' successes always make me happy. I congratulate Robert Lewandowski on such a fantastic success in FC Barcelona and I keep my fingers crossed for the future,” wrote Maciej Żywno, deputy speaker of the Senate, from Poland 2050.
