Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona's Polish striker, expressed his pride after scoring the first goal at the newly renovated Camp Nou during their 4-0 rout of Athletic Club in La Liga. This milestone marks a historic moment for the team as it was the first competitive match held at the stadium since May 2023.
"We were returning to the Camp Nou and for us, it was a special day," Lewandowski said post-match to DAZN. "We are very happy to be able to play here." The striker highlighted that his team played well from the start, scoring two goals in the first half and another two in the second, before adding three more points to their tally.
What made this victory even more meaningful for Lewandowski was that he was the one to break the silence at Camp Nou. He revealed that they had a pre-match plan to attack from the start, which made it special that he scored the first goal four minutes into the match. "I'm very proud," he claimed. "We have a very good team and we have to look forward now. When we play at Camp Nou, we are a slightly stronger team."
Lewandowski's form has been impressive recently, with four goals in his last two games, including a hat-trick away at Celta Vigo before this match. The 37-year-old striker expressed pride and happiness after scoring the first goal at Camp Nou, saying that he feels like every game here could be played like the one they just won.
With their Champions League showdown against Chelsea on Tuesday, FC Barcelona and Lewandowski will look to continue their winning form as they seek a must-win result.
