The Pole Robert Lewandowski, who left
Bayern Munich
this summer to sign for Barcelona, has accused the German team this Friday of lying about his departure from the club and stressed that he felt it was the right time to face a new challenge.
"I feel like I'm in the right position, in the right place. What happened in the last few weeks before I left for
Barcelona
was also political. The club tried to find a fight to justify my sale because maybe it was difficult to explain to them. the fans,"
Lewandowski
said in an interview with the 'ESPN' network.
"And I have to accept this even if there were a lot of lies, a lot of lies about me. They were false things, but in the end I know that the fans, even in this period, are still very supportive of me," he added.
Lewandowski
, 34, signed for
Barcelona
in exchange for around 45 million euros and left
Bayern
after eight seasons in which he won as many league titles and a
Champions League
, among other trophies.
"Some people don't tell the truth, they say something different. For me it was always important to be clear, honest, and perhaps for some this was a problem. In the end I know that I realized that if something wasn't right with myself either, then maybe It was a good time to leave Bayern and sign for Barcelona," he said, stressing that he had a "very good relationship" with his teammates and coaches at Bayern and that he will miss them.
At the same time, he has been excited about opening "a new chapter" at
Barcelona
