After eight years of conquering the Bundesliga and breaking new amazing records, Lewandowski set himself another challenge. The Pole decided to move to FC Barcelona. A global brand that is one of the most important places for global football. Although the Pole is already old, he became the most important element of the Pride of Catalonia’s offensive, winning the league title and the top scorer’s crown in his first season. “Lewy’s” second campaign in Spain was not as successful, but the Polish striker was back on track.

Let us add that the Englishman has scored eight goals and provided five assists in seven appearances in the Bundesliga. Also an impressive result.
