Lewandowski, 33, is one of the most lethal marksmen in European football. A Polish international with 76 goals in 132 caps for his country, he scored 344 goals in 375 games with Bayern.
Lewandowski won everything there is to win in Bavaria and arrives at Barcelona with the ambition of writing one final chapter in what’s been an illustrious career. His contract runs to 2025.
