Lewandowski Aims to Debut at the Camp Nou

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski engages with SPORT to discuss his current and future prospects with FC Barcelona. Dressed in sportswear at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper’s press room before Xavi Hernández’s morning training session, Lewandowski exudes class even in casual attire. The conversation delves into his present challenges in the Blaugrana jersey and sheds light on his aspirations for the future.

Looking ahead is the key to understanding his intentions. When asked if he envisions playing in the new stadium, Lewandowski responds without hesitation, “Yes, of course, it’s one of the goals, to play again at the Camp Nou.” Reflecting on his first season at Barça, where he clinched the league title and became the top scorer, he reminisces about unforgettable nights: “It’s a magical stadium, a magical field, and yes, of course, I want to play there,” as if the debate about his continuity doesn’t exist.

Anticipating the magical atmosphere, he starts the countdown: “We still have to wait ten months, I believe,” he says with a smile, aware that construction projects of this magnitude may not strictly adhere to timelines. He adds, “I hope for that, to be there almost at the end of the year and be able to play with all the people and enjoy that great atmosphere.”

Despite fluctuations in performance or goal-scoring, Robert, ultimately, is just another Culé: “I feel very good in the city, my family too; we are very content and happy. I could be happy with my things in the club alone, but everything else is fine too.” In fact, Lewandowski is in the process of building his new home in Garraf.
