Robert Lewandowski determined to fire Barcelona 'back to the top of European football'

Robert Lewandowski said he is determined to help Barcelona return to the top of European football as the prolific Polish striker completed his move from Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski, 33, travelled over the weekend to Miami, where Barcelona are preparing to face Inter Miami in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday evening, and met his new teammates and the club's backroom staff.

Although the deal is yet to be confirmed, Lewandowski was seen in Barca uniform in photos and videos published to the club's social media channels.

"Finally I'm here, I'm very happy to be with Barcelona," Lewandowski said in an interview published on Barca's Twitter account. "The last few days were very long but in the end the deal is done, so the focus can be on a new chapter in my life, a new challenge.

"I am always the guy who wants to win, not only games but also titles, so I hope that we can start the season by winning and that will lead to titles at the end of the season."

A serial winner and prolific goalscorer throughout his 12 years in Germany, Lewandowski won two Bundesliga titles and the German Cup with Borussia Dortmund, before winning eight league titles in a row, three German Cups, and the 2020 Champions League at Bayern.

Lewandowski scored 447 goals in 562 games across all competitions for Dortmund and Bayern, while his 312 Bundesliga goals places him second on the all-time list, behind only Gerd Muller's 365.
