Poland star
Lewandowski: “This won’t be my last game”
Poland's star striker Robert Lewandowski wants to continue his career in the national team even after the disappointing European Championship in Germany.
"I still feel this fire inside me. Maybe one day I'll wake up and say: I have to retire from the Polish national team." But that moment has not yet come. "This is not my last game tomorrow," said the 35-year-old Barcelona legionnaire ahead of Tuesday's final game against France.
The Poles, who suffered their second defeat in Group D with a 3-1 loss to Austria on Friday, no longer have a chance of progressing regardless of the outcome of the France game. Lewandowski's injury is another reason for the early exit from the European Championships: the captain and by far Poland's most important player missed the first game against the Netherlands (1:2) due to a torn muscle fiber and was also unable to play from the start against Austria.
"I can now say: I'm ready. Unfortunately, it's too late for us now," explained Lewandowski on Monday evening ahead of his 152nd international match. "But we still have one more game and want to give something back to our fans."
