The legend pointed to Robert Lewandowski at the end. Surprising text in Germany
Since Robert Lewandowski moved to FC Barcelona, the Pole is not as frequent a guest in the German media as he was when he played for Bayern Munich. However, the journalists of “Sport Bild” devoted space to the RL9. The opinion about the Pole was given by Gary Lineker.
Robert Lewandowski in the summer of 2022, after eight years of playing (2014-22), changed Bayern Munich for FC Barcelona. The pride of Catalonia paid the German champions about 50 million euros for their best sniper. The Pole paid off quickly, becoming the top scorer in LaLiga in his first season in Spain, and Barca regained the league title.
Gary Lineker: The era of Robert Lewandowski is coming to an end
“Lewy” will turn 35 exactly on August 21 this year. The Pole is the most experienced in the ranks of the team of coach Xavi Hernandez. Although the years fly by, the RL9 does not lose its effectiveness, still being able to be an added value in the ranks of Barca’s offensive.
However, Gary Lineker is of a slightly different opinion. According to the Englishman, who during his rich career performed, among others, right here in Barcelona, Lewandowski’s time at the top is coming to an end.
“Speaking of strikers, the era of Robert Lewandowski is coming to an end. For many years he was one of the top nines in the world. Now Harry Kane and Erling Haaland are at the top of the strikers list. Nor can we forget Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved from the left wing to the center during his career. Kylian Mbappe usually plays on the left-back, but if you ask which one I value the most and would like to have at home, I’d bet on the Frenchman. Mbappe is complete, an excellent player – admitted Lineker in the pages of “Sport Bild”.
Words about Lewandowski were, of course, instantly picked up by German journalists. Especially in the context of many years of the Pole’s performances in the Bundesliga, when, especially in the colors of Bayern RL9, he proved year after year that he was a dominator.
When do FC Barcelona and “Lewy” start the season?
The next opportunity to see Lewandowski in action is on Tuesday evening (i.e. August 8). Barcelona will play a friendly against Tottenham. Start at 20:00. This will be the last sparring before the upcoming start of the LaLiga games.
The Spanish champions will start the game for points on August 13, which is next Sunday. The rival of Barcelona will be Getafe, the pride of Catalonia will play away. The meeting will start at 21:30. They will be shown on Eleven Sports 1.
