As Robert Lewandowski (38) said goodbye to Barcelona, where he spent four years, his wife Anna shed hot tears on the field.
The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 18th (local time) that "after Lewandowski played his Barcelona farewell match, he welcomed his wife Anna, who was weeping endlessly, onto the field and shared an emotional farewell at Camp Nou."
Lewandowski started the match as captain in the final 37th round of the 2025-2026 La Liga against Real Betis. When he was substituted out in the 40th minute of the second half, home fans gave him a standing ovation.
The media reported that "after the match, Lewandowski called his family onto the field. At that moment, his wife Anna approached her husband with their two children, weeping, moving the hearts of those watching."
Taking the microphone, Lewandowski said, "From the first day I arrived at Barcelona, I felt this stadium was like my own home. I am grateful to my teammates, coaching staff, and club employees. Although I am saying goodbye to this stadium today, Barcelona will forever remain in my heart," conveying his sincere farewell.
In response to his farewell speech, a large banner reading "Robert, everything began with you" was unfurled in the 90,000-seat stadium. Lewandowski then left the field while receiving a guard of honor from his teammates. The media reported that "Lewandowski remained alone in the stadium past midnight, reflecting on his four-year legacy."
Lewandowski, who left Bayern Munich for Barcelona in 2022 for a transfer fee of 39 million pounds, played 191 matches over four years, scoring 119 goals and performing brilliantly. Even this season, as he approaches his 40s in his mid-30s, he scored 18 goals in official matches, demonstrating his unchanging skills as the world's top striker.
During this period, he played as the team's key attacker, collecting a total of seven championship trophies, including three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey (Spanish King's Cup), and three Spanish Super Cups. In particular, he made a significant contribution to leading the league to the top this year, his final season, by surpassing rival Real Madrid by 11 points.
Having completed a beautiful journey with Barcelona, Lewandowski will not participate in the upcoming 2026 North, Central American and Caribbean Cup, but he is not yet retiring from football. According to multiple foreign media outlets, several clubs in Europe and the Saudi Arabia league, including the US Major League Soccer (MLS) Chicago Fire, are showing great interest in signing him.
