Lewandowski Opens Up: ‘My Spark Dimmed in 2023

Robert Lewandowski (35 years old) had a strong start to the previous season, but his performance declined after returning from the Qatar World Cup. “In 2023, there was a moment when my spark dimmed,” revealed the Barcelona forward. In an extensive interview on ‘Foot Truck,’ a football program on YouTube in his home country, Lewandowski explained the downturn in his footballing form last year.

“In 2023, there was a moment when I felt not only mentally but also physically weaker. All the bad and negative things seemed to come together at once. Everything accumulated,” explained the Barcelona striker.

In a self-critical manner, Lewandowski acknowledged, “Of course, I made mistakes too. I fell into a kind of rut and needed quite some time to get out of it, to return to normal. In football, it’s not that easy to do it in a week or two.”

Regarding his dip in performance, Lewandowski disclosed that he took steps to address it: “During that period, I underwent physical tests and individual training in my free time, and it turned out promising. That also provided me with many answers. I see that I continue to progress physically, even at the club.”
