A living legend of Polish football, Robert Lewandowski is clearly not unanimously popular in his homeland. Despite his more than 600 career goals - including 101 in 147 matches for FC Barcelona , his current club - the Polish international (150 caps, 85 goals) has been heavily criticized by a former figure in the national football team, ex-goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski. According to the latter, the best thing Lewandowski could do would be to immediately leave Barça and go to Saudi Arabia.
"Robert should end his Barça adventure now and join a "lighter" club in Saudi Arabia, like the greatest players in the world have done, with the exception of Messi ," the 77-year-old former player commented in the columns of Super Express , before continuing. "Let's be honest: this is the end. Robert is not very popular in the team, and Barça's best players no longer pass him the ball. He held on. Of course, he has every right to stay. But he has to face the facts: next season, he will be a substitute. He will only come on the pitch against a tired opponent, because Flick will want to take advantage of his eye for goal. The whole story about him being incredibly close to the other players is a fairy tale."
