FC Barcelona has Lewandowski fever. After months of transfer poker, the Catalans were finally able to free the world footballer from FC Bayern. However, Barca fan shops were arguably unprepared for the deal.
The commitment of Robert Lewandowski raises great hopes around FC Barcelona for a quick return to the top of European football. Many fans currently want to buy a jersey from the 33-year-old. The problem: In the fan shop at Camp Nou, the wishes can no longer be fulfilled at the moment.
As reported by ‘Telemadrid’ and other Spanish media outlets, Barca cannot flock Lewandowski shirts because the letter ‘W’ is missing. A video is circulating on the Internet showing the strange situation.
In Spanish, the letter “W” is not that common. Nevertheless, the jersey breakdown is surprising, as FC Barcelona has been working on Lewandowski’s commitment for months.
Lewandowski still in the spectator role at Barca
The superstar has now joined the Barca team after leaving FC Bayern. The Spanish first division team is currently on a trip to the USA. Lewandowski was still a spectator in the 6-0 win in the friendly against Inter Miami. But the Pole will soon be wearing the FC Barcelona jersey on the pitch.
“I’m finally here and I’m very happy. The last few days have been very long, but in the end the deal is ticked and I can focus on a new chapter and a new challenge in my life,” said the goalscorer in his first interview for the club said.
At Bayern, the change was less well received. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic distributed in the “Zeit” magazine against the center forward.
He has no understanding for that, “really zero point zero – and not just because I have of course fulfilled all my contracts as a player,” explained the 45-year-old: “As a player I would have clarified that internally and for myself and fulfilled my contract .”
