Robert Lewandowski once again faced Bayern Munich as a Barcelona player, but this time around, the emotions tied to his former club were far less significant than during the 2022-23 season.
It was clear that the match meant something to him, but his approach was purely professional, reflecting his growing connection with the Barcelona squad.
The forward admitted that this victory felt special, though he did approach the match differently than before.
“It’s a special victory, without a doubt, and I’m not going to hide it. I’ve approached this game a little differently than two years ago because I’ve been at Barcelona longer now,” he explained.
His confidence was evident as he mentioned expecting a solid performance and a 3-1 victory before the game even started.
“I was convinced that we would play a good game today and win. Before the game, I was expecting a 3-1 victory.”

“Physically I don’t feel any difference and that’s the most important thing. When I look at the young players they give me extra energy, I won’t hide that,” he noted.
The balance between experience and youth in the team is something he values highly, pointing out that experienced players like Inigo Martinez and himself provide stability, while the younger players bring energy and enthusiasm.
“There’s Inigo and I and there are some players in the middle who have experience. We have a lot of youth and we’re trying to take advantage of it.
“I think we’re starting to understand each other better, to know how to use youth and experience.”
Regarding his goal-scoring form, Lewandowski emphasised that it’s not about the number of goals he scores in…
