Lewandowski: “Ronaldo’s Achievements Will Remain Engraved in History”
Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski has expressed deep admiration for Portugal’s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, in anticipation of the upcoming international matches during the FIFA break.
Lewandowski, who will be leading the Polish national team against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League, took a moment to reflect on the legendary status of Ronaldo.
The highly anticipated match is set to take place on Saturday, October 12, at the National Stadium in Warsaw, where Poland will face off against Portugal.
As the game draws near, Lewandowski shared his thoughts on preparing for such a high-stakes match and the unique challenge posed by Ronaldo’s presence.
In an interview, Lewandowski emphasized the importance of focusing on the entire team rather than singling out one player, even when that player is someone as iconic as Ronaldo.
He said that when approaching a match like this, his mindset is always geared towards understanding the collective strength of the opposition, rather than being overly concerned with individual players, no matter how great they may be.
However, the Polish striker did not hold back in recognizing Ronaldo’s unmatched contributions to football.
Lewandowski acknowledged that what Ronaldo has accomplished throughout his career is extraordinary, and he has left an indelible mark on the sport with his numerous records and achievements.
He noted that Ronaldo’s impact extends far beyond statistics, as he has redefined what it means to be an elite athlete over an extended period of time.
Lewandowski went on to point out how impressive it is that Ronaldo continues to deliver incredible performances, even at an age where many players have started to slow down.
The Polish striker referred to Ronaldo as a true exception in the world of football, one of the few players who consistently defies expectations and maintains an incredible level of performance year after year.
“His name is already etched into the annals of football history,” Lewandowski said, marveling at how Ronaldo continues to challenge the limits of age and performance.
He added that Ronaldo’s numbers, far from diminishing, seem to only increase as time goes on, making him a true anomaly in the sport.
As Poland gears up for this crucial UEFA Nations League clash, Lewandowski’s words remind fans and players alike of the respect Ronaldo commands on and off the pitch.
It’s not just about what he has done in the past but how he continues to set new standards for excellence, inspiring countless players, including Lewandowski himself.
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
