Robert Lewandowski<\/strong> participated in an extensive interview for the BBC<\/em> prior to the start of the 2025\/26 season with FC Barcelona<\/strong>, the fourth he will face as a cul\u00e9<\/em>. In it, he anticipates several key issues related to his professional career and his future goals.<\/p> In that sense, Lewy<\/em> began by talking about his competitive state to face a campaign that is expected to be demanding, in a locker room full of young talents: “When I see that I don’t have to catch up with the young players yet, but they have to catch up with me<\/strong>, it means that the next season can also be very good,” explained the Pole.<\/p> The former Bayern Munich<\/strong> player argued that, at 36 years old, his optimal physical condition remains one of the great pillars to remain a top scorer. A constant motivation to “show the best of myself<\/strong>“.<\/p> Returning to the topic of the young players surrounding him in the FC Barcelona squad<\/a>, where he appears as the oldest player alongside Szcz\u0119sny<\/strong> (35), the striker acknowledged that he is open to learning from emerging talents:<\/p> “I understood that I can’t fight with them, but I can help them and they can also help me. I learn a lot from the guys”<\/p> <\/blockquote> His attitude shows a collaborative mentality and a key adaptation for a veteran<\/strong> who seeks to continue contributing in a rejuvenated and ambitious team.<\/p> In the interview, the striker was asked about his relationship with Lamine Yamal<\/a>, with whom, despite the difference of almost 19 years, he has shown great complicity on and off the field. The ‘9’ did not hesitate to surrender to the prodigy of Rocafonda: “It’s the first time in my life that I see that, after 50 minutes, a player had something so special,” he began by saying.<\/p> “I didn’t believe it because I had never seen a footballer like that at that age. I thought that was impossible at 15 years old<\/strong>,” he added.<\/p> \ud83d\ude02 Lewandowski’s tap on the head to Lamine Yamal pic.twitter.com\/sxUyaqpKRK<\/a><\/p> \u2014 Mundo Deportivo (@mundodeportivo) August 10, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> <\/div> Regarding the right winger’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or<\/strong> this season, he acknowledged that, although Yamal<\/strong> had a masterful 2024\/25 season, it won’t be easy: “Lamine’s season was incredible, but in the end everything depends on the most important thing. He still has a lot of time, if it’s not this year, maybe next year<\/strong>.”<\/p> “He still has a lot of time, if it’s not this year, maybe next year”<\/p> <\/blockquote> He added that: “Raphinha<\/strong> also had a sensational year. We have players who could be favorites to win this award.”<\/p> Lewandowski’s competitive state for the 2025\/26 season<\/h2>
