Lewandowski 'wet' on when Wojciech Szczęsny will be ready to make FC Barcelona debut

One of the big names at FC Barcelona in this 2024/25 season is undoubtedly Robert Lewandowski. The goal-scoring sensation is coming off an impeccable performance with the Blaugrana at Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alavés (0-3), scoring three goals that secured Barça's eighth victory in the ongoing LaLiga EA Sports season, solidifying the club's position at the top of the Spanish league table and further cementing his position as the 'Pichichi' with 10 goals scored further.

Now, the Warsaw 'killer' will have the significant task of transferring his current success at Barcelona to his national team, as he has been called up by Michal Probierz for the international fixtures of this October FIFA window. Poland will face Portugal (12/10) and Croatia (15/10) in two matches valid for matchday three and four of the UEFA Nations League 2024/25.

Before shining in the sports arena, Robert Lewandowski had the opportunity to be the chosen player to participate in the press conference ahead of Poland's game against Portugal, where he made some remarks with a 'Barça twist' that caught everyone's attention. In that regard, the '9' started by talking about the integration of Wojciech Szczęsny, the new Culé signing, into the dynamics of FC Barcelona.

"When a new player arrives, you have to show them around the dressing room. The same goes for Wojtek. He should quickly get used to his experience and his way of approaching life."

In the same vein, Lewandowski shared a small anecdote about Szczęsny's desire to wear the Blaugrana shirt and also hinted at when the Polish goalkeeper could be ready to be called up and be available under the guidance of Hansi Flick to defend Barcelona's goal. "I can reveal that before Wojtek left Juventus, he told me that the only option he had to keep playing was FC Barcelona. This has been postponed. During his temporary retirement, he didn't disappear; on the contrary, he gained some freshness and two weeks of quiet training at the club will be enough. I am sure he will help this team many times," he commented.

Lewandowski also spoke about his renewed goal-scoring form

Addressing his impressive goal-scoring records, far from attributing it all to an individual plan, Robert Lewandowski highlighted the team effort and how everyone is crucial in showcasing the team's best version in a long time. "We all do our best on the field. I have more chances and more passes. Yesterday the second goal was basic football. The guys are in good shape. Everyone on the field is playing at their level. It all adds up," he emphasized.

To wrap up, 'Lewy' wanted to discuss what has been the key to the team's current level and the method used to maintain this remarkable form and continue performing at a high level in all competitions. "We know tough matches await us, and we have to be prepared. We keep our feet on the ground; the season is long. We want to stay fit and even improve. Some guys will recover from their injuries, we can be even stronger, and the coach will have more options," he concluded.
