FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski recently made headlines by claiming that he is currently in better physical shape than he was a decade ago. The player, who has faced criticism for his performance post the Qatar 2022 World Cup, has shown significant improvement in recent weeks with crucial goals in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Following a standout performance in a recent match against Atletico Madrid, where he scored a goal and provided an assist in a 3-0 victory, Lewandowski expressed his satisfaction with his current form. He stated, 'I'm better physically than I was ten years ago. I train very well and I feel very good physically. If I feel good, everything is easier.'

Lewandowski's comments come in the wake of the announcement made by FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez regarding his decision to step down at the end of the season. The news of Xavi's impending departure had a significant impact on players like Lewandowski and Gavi, with the striker admitting that he attempted to persuade Xavi to reconsider his decision.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the coaching situation, Lewandowski emphasized the team's responsibility to perform on the pitch. He highlighted the improved communication within the squad, attributing it to the team's recent success. Lewandowski affirmed, 'Now we talk more about what we can do to improve and be more effective. We play with Xavi and we want to win with him.'

Known for his leadership qualities, Lewandowski often mentors young players in the team, such as Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. He mentioned the importance of balancing youthful talent with experience for the team's overall development.

In conclusion, Lewandowski's positive outlook on his physical condition and his commitment to the team's success reflect his dedication to FC Barcelona's ongoing campaign. As the season progresses, his influence both on and off the pitch continues to be a driving force for the team's aspirations.
