“Barca is back where it belongs,” he added. “I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days. Catalonia is my place on earth.”<\/p>\n
His final game for the club will be at the Spotify Camp Nou against Real Betis on Sunday, with Barca ending their campaign the following Saturday at Valencia.<\/p>\n
Coach Hansi Flick, who also coached Lewandowski at Bayern Munich, has confirmed Lewandowski will start against Betis.<\/p>\n
“He spoke with the team, said goodbye, and that it was a great time for him here in Barcelona,” said Flick.<\/p>\n
“I’ve worked with Robert now for years, and we won together nine [trophies] – all the titles I’ve won were with him.<\/p>\n
“For me it’s a privilege to work with him. He’s a professional player. Every day he gave the best with his body to be at the highest level.<\/p>\n
“He’s a perfect role model for young players – a fantastic human, but also a world-class player. This is why he’s still playing at this level.”<\/p>\n
Barcelona also paid tribute to the forward in a statement as they added: “Thank you, Robert Lewandowski, for every goal, every [bit of] fight, and every magical moment wearing these colours. He arrived as a star, he leaves as a legend.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
