‘I knew my season would start in September’ – Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski discusses form after scoring for Poland

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski spoke about his form after scoring his first goal of the season on Sunday for Poland against Finland.

The striker has had a slow start to the new campaign, after picking up an injury in pre-season, and says he knew he wouldn’t really get going until September.

“Before, I didn’t take the risk of playing from the first minute. I knew the season for me would start in September. I was preparing for that,” he told the media.

“It was my first real match where everything was fine. I didn’t have to think about anything. For me, the season is just starting. I didn’t even want to play in those August matches.”

Lewandowski also grabbed an assist as Poland ran out 3-0 winners in World Cup qualifying.

The striker will now head back to Barcelona and hope to open his account for Barcelona in 2025-26 against Valencia on Sunday.
