Pole Lewandowski (32 years old), voted the best player in the world, landed in Doha for the FIFA Club World Cup, and is now installed in the final thanks to his scoring quota. His 24 goals in 19 games keep Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga.
Winning the Qatar 2020 Club World Cup would complete a historic sextet for the Bavarian giant, thus matching the feat of Pep Guardiola’s FC Barcelona in the 2009/10 season.
Asked if this contest will be special, he replied: “I would say yes. It will be very special for all of us, not just me. The best team in Europe is going to play against the best teams from other continents. It will be a new challenge for us. And we want to win the title, of course ”.
– Would winning the Club World Cup mean putting the icing on the cake for Bayern?
-Yes, of course. I believe that if we win this Club World Cup, we would achieve one of the greatest milestones in the history of football. We are aware that we are very close, but we must remain focused one hundred percent. It would be very special. Not only for Bayern or for Germany, but it would be one of the greatest historical milestones on the planet.
–What did it mean to win The Best FIFA Player Award?
-Much. In those first moments you are not entirely aware of what it means, but as the days go by, the weeks go by, you realize that you have won what is perhaps the most important title of your life. It was fantastic, but I know I won it because of what we had won as a team. Hopefully we can continue lifting titles.
Finally, Lewandoeski said: “I try to keep scoring goals. I’ve been hearing for years that this is the best Lewandowski. No matter how old I am: I can always improve and polish my qualities. (FIFA.com)
