Robert Lewandowski was the star signing for Barcelona this season, which is the outstanding leader in the League, but the Polish striker is clear that the team needs to continue raising the level to be able to compete for titles in Europe. The scorer opened the door to a possible return of Leo Messi to Barça. "I hope that next season we can play together," Lewandowski wished. He is not the first to do it. The nine follows the path of Sergi Roberto, his coach Xavi Hernández and even the vice president Rafa Yuste.
The Pole would be delighted with the return of Messi, not only because of the reconciliation with the club of his entire life but also because the Argentine still makes a difference when it comes to football. "Leo Messi has always belonged to Barcelona and if he comes back it will be something incredible. That is my opinion but I am not the right person to decide it. We know that his place is here in Barcelona. I don't know what will happen, but I hope that next season we can play together. We need these types of players,” he noted.
Lewandowski is the godfather of the eighteenth edition of the book Relats Solidaris de l'Esport, written by 40 sports journalists. The profits from the sale of the book, which is on sale at El Corte Inglés, go to the Lovaas Foundation, which fights to help children with autism. In the presentation ceremony at the Auditori La Caixa, the footballer gave a lot of value to whether Barcelona manages to be proclaimed champion of the League. “If we win the title, it will give confidence to many players in the team. If you look at the overall season, we've done a great job together. We are focused on the League. We want to make the fans happy. La Liga is the biggest title and it is not costing much, ”he pointed out.
In the summer, the striker changed Bayern Munich for Barcelona and he knew that the challenge was great and had risks. For this reason, he asks for time for the team: “You can't change everything in a few months. You need time. In the first season, Barcelona is coming back. At Bayern there was an obligation to win. We have to be patient. Next season will be even better, I'm sure, ”he promised.
Author of 27 goals, the Pole is very self-demanding. But he also revealed that his physical condition is not the best after the blow he received in the back in the classic against Madrid. “I received a blow in the 30th minute against Madrid. That blow from Militão changed my body. The second part was difficult for me. I wanted to play the whole game to help the team in an important game, ”he explained.
The pain still does not allow him to compete normally. What's more, on Sunday she couldn't train. And he gave more details that he played against Girona very depleted and with a belt. “Yesterday Monday when I got up I couldn't walk. Later in the game I felt better thanks to the physiotherapists but we couldn't score the winning goal against Girona. I know that I have not been perfect in recent games. I have to play better, that's clear. But it's being tough,” he revealed. In his opinion, the World Cup in the middle of the course has also affected the team's injuries, such as those of Dembélé, Pedri and De Jong.
