The drama started back in April, and finally ended this month when Robert Lewandowski finally signed for Barcelona. But during these three months, we have heard and read everything: that he won’t leave, that he has to honour his contract, that Barcelona cannot afford him, that Bayern wanted to bring Erling Haaland etc. The situation got frosty at one point between Munchen executives and Lewa, then it got soft again (since the Pole realized they need to sign his departure), and the ’happy ending’ was marked by a usual farewell message between Bayern and the player when the transfer happened.Lewandowski: “In these last few months, a lot of things were said about me that were not true. But the Bayern fans always supported me. I will always be very grateful to them, I will never forget that. It was a very tough period for me.” #lewandowski #Barcelona pic.twitter.com/juYYuZX1De— Oliver Evens (@EvensOliver) July 30, 2022 But today, Robert Lewandowski again went to criticize his former club, accusing them of lying. In a first interview since he signed with the Catalonians, Lewa spoke to ESPN about his transfer and a move to Barcelona, and also denied rumours that he left due to Erling Haaland. „No, that was nothing to do with Erling. I am the guy who even if something’s not good for me — the truth is more important. I don’t want to speak about what happened exactly. But if the question is if the decision to move was because of him, no, I didn’t see the problem if he joined Bayern Munich. But some kind of people doesn’t say to me the truth, say something different….And in the end I know that something doesn’t work well with my personality as well and I knew that, OK I see and I feel that maybe it’s a good time to move out of Bayern Munich and join Barcelona….Everything that’s happened in the last maybe few weeks before I left Bayern Munich, that was also of course a lot of politics. The club tried to find arguments to sell me to another club, because before it was difficult to explain maybe to the fans. And I had to accept that even though it was a lot of bulls—, a lot of s— said about me. Not true, but in the end I knew that the fans, even in this period, still support me a lot” said Lewa.Barca spent 153 million euros on the verge of bankruptcy; Laporta stands firm: Mind your own business, we’re out of the hospitalThe Pole also stated that his time in Barcelona so far has been great, that he has good communication with coach Xavi and has one former teammate – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. „With my experience, it’s easier. Xavi has helped me a lot, we don’t have communication problems. Even the teammates, who I see love me help, open up to me. Maybe the first weeks will be a little more difficult, but I am quite sure that after that it will work every day, every week better than the previous one. I am very happy to be able to be with Aubameyang. We had a great time in Dortmund. I remember exactly how we played, what we did on the pitch and off. He is a very good guy and a lot of fun“ said Lewandowski. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6537542##
