Lewandowski vows to end Barcelona’s silverware drought

It is now 16 months since Barcelona’s most recent taste of silverware, but Robert Lewandowski is convinced the waiting will soon be over.

Barcelona has “waited too long” for a trophy, according to Robert Lewandowski, who has promised that big things are in the future for the Blaugrana.

The striker, who completed his € 50 million move from Bayern Munich last month.

He made his debut for the Catalan giants against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.

Although he failed to find the net in the goalless draw at Camp Nou.

The Poland captain had a strike disallowed by VAR while he also hit the woodwork.

Barca is looking to regain the LaLiga title this season, having last donned the crown in 2018-19.

While they finished 13 points behind eventual champions Real Madrid last term.

Meanwhile, it is now 16 months since the Blaugrana’s last taste of silverware.

Lionel Messi’s brace inspired them to a 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the 2021 Copa del Rey final.

But Lewandowski tries to convince everyone that it is only a matter of time before the wait is over.

Robert Lewandowski said via quotes reported in Marca:

“I think it’s been too long for Barcelona without winning titles.

“I’m sure we’re going to win them.

“When I first knew that Barcelona was interested in bringing me to the club, at all times.

“I thought it was a perfect time, for the club and for me.

“I didn’t want to play my whole life in one league. In the Bundesliga, everything went well, it was a good experience for me, but I knew it was another step for my career to go to LaLiga.”

Just like every transfer, Lewandowski will take time to settle in Barcelona.

Lewandowski will hope to open his Barca goalscoring account when Xavi’s side travels to Real Sociedad on Sunday.
