Robert Lewandowski has claimed that “no one remembers” the humiliating 8-2 defeat that Barcelona suffered against Bayern Munich in the Champions League back in 2020.
The 33-year-old who signed for the Camp Nou giants for €50 million this summer is now fully focused on his duties at Camp Nou and does not wish to dwell on one of the lowest points in the club’s history.
Recall that the Poland striker was part of that formidable Bayern team and netted once as Barca were dumped out at the quarter-final stage.
It was also the first time that the Spanish giants had conceded five goals in a Champions League match, but Lewandowski says the defeat has been put firmly in the past.
When pressed on Bayern’s memorable victory over Barca two years ago, Lewandowski who made his debut for Barca during the 1-0 friendly win over Real Madrid at the weekend, replied: “Of that even less. Nobody remembers.”
Barcelona will return to action on Tuesday in a pre-season friendly against Juventus.
