🚨Robert Lewandowski on how hard it was for him to leave Bayern Munich for Barcelona
🗣️ Robert Lewandowski:
“When I had to make the decision to join Barcelona, it was honestly one of the most difficult decisions of my life. At Bayern Munich, I had everything. We were winning trophies every season, competing for every title possible, and personally I was in one of the best moments of my career. One or two years before joining Barça, I had already won everything there was to win with Bayern. Many people asked me: ‘Why leave a perfect situation?’
But football is not only about comfort. Sometimes you feel something bigger inside you.
At that moment, Barcelona were in a very difficult situation. Not only financially, but also emotionally as a club. When we played against them in the Champions League with Bayern, I remember feeling that something was missing. You could see the stadium, the fans, the history… but it did not feel like the Barcelona that everyone respected for many years. It was strange because this club has always represented greatness, personality, beautiful football.
And after those games in Munich and Barcelona, I started thinking a lot. I knew that if one day I had the opportunity to join Barça, I could help change things. Not alone, of course, because one player never changes everything, but I felt I could bring experience, mentality, leadership and hunger back to the dressing room.
Many people thought I was crazy to leave Bayern at that stage of my career. They said Barcelona was finished, that the club was too broken, too unstable. But for me, that was exactly the challenge that attracted me. It is easy to join a club when everything is perfect. The real test is joining when people doubt them and helping bring them back to where they belong.
I did not come to Barcelona for a holiday or to enjoy the weather. I came because I believed this club could rise again. When you wear this badge, you understand immediately how massive this club is. The pressure is huge, but so is the motivation.
Today, I am proud of that decision because I followed my heart and my football ambition. Barcelona is not just a club you play for — it’s a responsibility. And from the first day, I wanted to help restore that winning mentality again.”
After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️
