Polish international Robert Lewandowski has clearly announced his intention to win the Copa del Rey with Barça.
Last week, ahead of the Copa del Rey round of 16 tie against Salamenca, Xavi made his future at Barca conditional on winning at least one title this season. The former metronome announced that if he fails to achieve the club’s goals, he will take responsibility by leaving FCB.
“This year, the objective is to win important titles, the Copa del Rey, La Liga or the Champions League,” said the Blaugrana coach. If the goals are not achieved, I will be the first to say that I did not achieve them and I will leave. This is my reality. I think we are much closer to success than defeat. Despite the defeat in the Super Cup, I think it’s closer to victory. I don’t control the outside. »
“The goal is to reach the final and win it”
This Wednesday, on the eve of the Catalans’ trip to Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals, Robert Lewandowski underlined the importance of this national competition for him. Indeed, the Polish striker has not yet won the Copa del Rey since his arrival in Catalonia in July 2022, from Bayern Munich.
“We are FC Barcelona and we know where we want to go,” declared the Warsaw native in comments relayed by Mundo Deportivo. Now we will play for the Copa del Rey with a match in Bilbao. The goal is to reach the final and win it. It’s the only title I haven’t won in Spain. We want to win this trophy and offer attractive football to our supporters. »
As a reminder, Lewandowski has scored 12 goals and distilled 5 caviars in 27 appearances for Barcelona this season.
