Despite having a great start to his time at Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski faltered against Bayern Munich, his former team, in the Champions League, admitting that he truly wanted to see them lose.
The well-known striker completely failed to capitalize on his opportunities and endured the heartbreaking sight of his new team, Barca, losing 2-0 at the Allianz Arena as a result of some good opportunities he squandered.
Lewandowski discussed the game while representing his native Poland and made an effort to communicate his concerns.
“Of course I wanted to beat Bayern. And I also wanted to score but when you talk about feelings, you can’t completely silence them because it’s not that long since I left Bayern. The match was a big challenge for me. It was impossible for me to stop all those feelings. It was more than a sports match for me, it was an emotional match. The most emotional moment? As soon as you enter the stadium. Although it was a strange feeling to go to another locker room and warm up in another area.”

The Barca attacker admitted that his squad needed to learn from the defeat even though he felt there were some positives to take away from the game.
“The game against Bayern was a lesson for us. Before we started it we didn’t expect to be able to impose our style and create a lot of chances. Now we know we can. This game showed that we can do that and create chances in tough games. It’s true that we made mistakes. But to be honest, we deserved to win against Bayern or, at least, draw.” – he explained.
The 34-year-old forward will surely be working toward achieving his objectives on October 26, when the two teams battle it out at Camp Nou in the Champions League group stages yet again.
