Nobody at Barca remembers the 8-2: Lewandowski

Barcelona was humiliated by Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in the 2019-20 edition. The Spanish giants lost the match by 2-8. However, Robert Lewandowski who recently joined Barca from Bayern claimed that no one remembers that humiliation.

The Poland international was part of that Bayern team and during his stint with the other German club Borussia Dortmund, he netted four goals against Real Madrid in another UCL match.

"Football is not what you did in the past, it's what you do in the present. Real Madrid's four goals were a long time ago and they are already far behind," he said.

When he was asked about Bayern's memorable victory over the Catalan club, Lewandowski replied, "Of that even less. Nobody remembers."

Lewandowski had the privilege to train under Pep Guardiola while he was at Bayern and he feels that the methods of current Barca coach Xavi are very similar, report GOAL.

"It is easy for me to understand this system because I have worked with Pep for many years," he said when asked to compare the two managers.

"They are two great coaches who highly value tactical aspects. It is very easy for me to understand what he asks of me."

Lewandowski has already set his targets for the upcoming season and wants to bring the Champions League trophy back to Camp Nou.

"I have felt very well from the first moment, I am very happy. Everyone has welcomed me very well. I feel very happy," he said.

"I have come here to win titles and the Champions League is the most important title, but you have to go step by step."

Barcelona will return to action on Tuesday in a pre-season friendly against Juventus.
