The group stage of Group D of the European Championship has ended. Led by Robert Lewandowski, Poland drew 1-1 with France in the final round, with Lewandowski scoring the equalizer for Poland. During the group stage, Poland only got 1 draw and 2 losses, finishing bottom of the group and unfortunately being eliminated.
After ending his European Championship journey, Lewandowski said: “Now, I can finally enjoy life with my family. Of course, this period of detachment from the competition is very important for professional players. I will use this time to get my physical condition back in shape and prepare for the new season.” This summer, Xavi stepped down as Barcelona’s head coach, and former Bayern coach Flick took over the Nou Camp.
In response, Lewandowski said: “My European Championship journey has come to an end, and now all I look forward to is the new season. New season, new coach, new challenges. I am very much looking forward to working with Flick in the new season.” It is worth mentioning that Lewandowski and Flick have worked together at Bayern for two years. During Flick’s coaching tenure at Bayern, Lewandowski played 71 games for Bayern, scoring 83 goals and providing 22 assists.
Speaking about the upcoming schedule of the European Championship, the Polish striker Lewandowski said: “Spain played very well. They were not only defensively sound but also scored many goals. In my opinion, Spain has a very good chance of winning the European Championship. France and Germany are also formidable opponents, and they are also strong contenders for the title. Of course, anything is possible on the football pitch, and luck often plays a decisive role.”
Lewandowski has represented Poland in the European Championship for four consecutive tournaments and has scored in every tournament. At Euro 2016, Lewandowski led Poland to the quarter-finals, but they were eliminated by Portugal after a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals.
