Robert Lewandowski Bids Emotional Farewell to Camp Nou
Robert Lewandowski played his final home match for FC Barcelona in a 3-1 win over Real Betis. The Polish striker leaves after scoring 199 goals in 192 games since joining in 2022, helping Barcelona win 3 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey, and 3 Supercopa trophies.
For the Barcelona fans, Sunday night was less about the 3-1 win over Real Betis and more about saying goodbye to one of the club’s modern greats, Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker played his final home game at Camp Nou and received a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 85th minute. Clearly emotional, Lewandowski was seen in tears and later returned from the dugout several times to wave at supporters.
Barcelona ended their home campaign in style, with Raphinha scoring twice and Joao Cancelo adding another goal. The victory also completed a historic season, as Barcelona became the first club to finish a full 38-game La Liga season with a perfect home record, winning all 19 home matches. Lewandowski joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich in 2022, arriving during a difficult phase after Lionel Messi’s departure.
In 4 seasons, he helped the club win 3 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey, and 3 Supercopa de España trophies. He leaves with remarkable numbers, scoring 199 goals in 192 appearances, averaging a goal every 118 minutes. After the match, Lewandowski thanked the fans, teammates, coaches, and staff, saying Barcelona will always remain in his heart.
