Robert Lewandowski: All you need to know about Polish striker
Robert Lewandowski could have been forgiven for storming down the tunnel in disappointment following Barcelona’s 2-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. It was an evening to forget for the Poland international, whose side were beaten courtesy of goals from Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane. However, the classy 34-year-old instead chose to remain on the field and embrace his old team-mates following the match at the Allianz Arena.
Barcelona were the better team against Bayern and, prior to the Bundesliga giants’ quick-fire double, had several chances to go ahead.
Ultimately, however, the night belonged to their Bundesliga counterparts - with Hernandez and Sane netting in a four-minute period to give the German giants all three points.
Lewandowski was bright in the first half, like many of his team-mates, yet the 34-year-old faded after the interval and endured a frustrating night at the office.
However, instead of going straight down the tunnel after the game, images from GETTY show the veteran instead opted to catch up with his old team-mates.
Lewandowski hugged Sane, whose second goal showcased the Germany international at his best as he ran through the Barcelona defence.
He also shared a brief embrace with Julian Nagelsmann, too, with the duo spending a year working together prior to the Poland international’s summer exit.
