Robert Lewandowski explains decision to join Barcelona
After his signing from Bayern Munich to Barcelona was confirmed, Robert Lewandowski told Barca TV, "Iโm here to help the club return to the top and win as many titles as possible. I have always wanted to play in a great La Liga club and this is a great opportunity for me. It is also a challenge in my private life. I am a player who always wants to win. We have great players, with a lot of quality, in the squad. I am excited about what we can all achieve together."
The former Borussia Dortmund player then went on to compliment Spanish coach Xavi by stating, "I want to play and win titles and I know that with Xavi this will be very possible. He knows perfectly well how to lead Barca. He was an incredible player and now he is a great coach. He has a lot of future and I want to be aย part of it. The last few days have been long, but in the end, the agreement has become a reality. I am ready to face this new challenge in my career. Iโm a guy who likes to win games and titles. I hope the season begins and ends well in this regard."
