“Time is in our favor” – Lewandowski sees a rosy future for Barça

Although Robert Lewandowski is disappointed by the Champions League end with FC Barcelona, ​​he is optimistic. The goalscorer demands patience and is certain that Barça will soon be the best team again.

“Totally new emotions” have been experienced since moving to FC Barcelona, ​​the Pole explained La Vanguardia. “As soon as I set foot in the stadium, I felt something magical. It was like the whole Camp Nou story was floating in the air,” said the 34-year-old.

The emotion must have been completely new for him last Wednesday. It was already clear before the duel against Bayern that Barça could no longer qualify for the round of 16 in the Champions League. For the second time in a row, the Catalans continue in the Europa League – if they don’t lose against Pilsen on the last day of the group match.

Lewandowski calls for patience

“Obviously I’m not happy, Barça should be in the round of 16. But even before I came to Barcelona, ​​I knew that the first season could be more difficult than expected. We are in a rebuilding process that takes time. We have to be more patient,” Lewandowski campaigned for understanding.

His new team will “improve for sure,” he said optimistically. “Time is in our favour,” Lewandowski continued. The many young and talented players in the squad will continue to gain experience. The Pole thought that would also contribute to this. And is certain: FC Barcelona will “even be the best again [Mannschaft] be”.

In any case, he doesn’t seem to regret his move to the Camp Nou despite the Champions League exit: “I’m now with the team I dreamed of and I’m proud of it.”
