Robert Lewandowski accompanied Hansi Flick in the press conference prior to the Champions League matchday 4 Bruges-Barcelona. The '9' was honest about his current situation with the Blaugrana team, which is conditioned by the imminent end of his contract. The Pole will be free to negotiate with any club from January 1, 2026, but for now he prefers not to think about the future.
"The most important thing will be what my feelings are once the season ends. I'll have to see what I do with my life, but right now I'm focused on scoring goals and helping the team win titles," 'Lewy' began by saying.
In that sense, he made it clear that his priority, for now, is to stay healthy. Robert has suffered two muscular injuries this season which, added to the mishap he suffered last April, have physically diminished him after a fantastic 24/25 in terms of offensive production (he scored 42 goals in 52 games).
Lewandowski gets candid about his role at Barça
"I'm calm because of my experience, and it's important to arrive at the end in top form. It doesn't matter how the season starts, but how it ends. I've been working very well for two weeks, I played three days ago, and the important thing for me is to help Barça win."
Regarding his goal-scoring production, the 37-year-old forward is clear that it will be very difficult to match his numbers from the previous year, but he feels capable of continuing to be a lethal player inside the area.
"At my age, I know I can't play as much as before, but I'm fine. I'm training at a very high level. If we play as a team, it's very easy for the forwards. If we work hard, the results will come," Lewandowski pointed out.
Praise for Rashford and Caution with Lamine Yamal
On the other hand, the '9' of the 'azulgranas' was asked about the present of Lamine Yamal. As the most veteran player of the squad, 'Lewy' is one of the first to protect the player from Mataró from the media noise. Of course, always with the prudence that characterizes him.
"I've been talking to him for a long time, but what I can say now is that I don't talk about Lamine. He needs calm, I talk about myself," clarified Robert Lewandowski, who also took the opportunity to praise Marcus Rashford.
The Englishman, for now, leads the team in direct goal contributions with 6 goals and 6 assists. "I think he is a player who can help us a lot. He is playing well and I think we can still play better. Once we have more stability, with Marcus we will be stronger," said the Pole.
