Robert Lewandowski spoke in an interview with the Polish outlet 'Pilka Nozna' about his current performance at FC Barcelona, his competition with Ferran Torres, playing time management, and his future prospects.
He described 2025 as an intense and sometimes turbulent year, though he feels satisfied. Lewandowski highlighted injuries as some of the toughest moments, occurring during key matches like the Champions League semifinal against Inter, and mentioned that watching from the bench was likely the hardest challenge.
Regarding competition with Ferran Torres, he downplayed any tension and explained that coach Hansi Flick follows his own vision and specific plans, and rotation in the forward position is natural given the tight schedule. The new distribution of playing minutes is bringing clear benefits, providing freshness and energy.
When questioned about his age, Lewandowski stated he remains at a very high physical and technical level, sees no decline in his abilities, and feels prepared to play full 90-minute matches every three days if needed.
He noted that Barcelona has found better team balance, with all players able to carry the load, reducing reliance on individual stars. He praised Pedri as an extraordinary player with enormous potential and defended Lamine Yamal’s form fluctuations as natural for a young player who contributes positive energy.
Regarding his future, Lewandowski said it isn’t yet time to make decisions about his contract approaching its final stage. He does not want to speculate whether winning the Champions League will mark the end of his time at Barcelona, but acknowledged that achieving a second Champions League title with a second club would be fantastic.
Lewandowski feels satisfied with his four years at the club and remains fully committed to the project.
