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 American Footballer, Landon Donovan calls out Messi for ignoring fans at the game. The Inter Miami team recently lost 3-2 to Atlanta United. Messi was frustrated with the defeat and failed to do the customary greeting with opponents after games and greeting fans.
Donovan shows his unpleasantness with Messi behaviour by calling him out in a podcast “I don’t like that. Just shake their hands and say congratulations. Messi walked right off the field.”
“Maybe in the locker room, they came out and said congrats or whatever, and by the way, your fans are out there too, at least congratulate them on a great season and thank them for all the support they have had.”

Silvan Wallner, a 22-year-old Swiss midfielder, has announced his retirement from professional football to focus on his faith and commitment to following Jesus Christ.
Wallner, who began his professional career in 2020 with FC Zurich, has played over 100 matches across different clubs, including Wil and Austrian side Blau-Weiß Linz.
He joined Linz on a two-year contract in September and was expected to play a pivotal role in the team.
However, his announcement has shifted the focus from his athletic prowess to his deeply personal convictions.
In a statement released through his current club, Wallner explained his decision, emphasizing the importance of his Christian faith.
“I am a devout Christian, and I read the Bible. I make my own decisions about my life,” he said.
“I wish to follow Jesus Christ, and the biblical day of rest has become important to me.
This means that I no longer want to play professionally on Saturdays.”
Wallner also clarified that he is not affiliated with any particular church but made this decision based on his understanding of the Bible and his personal convictions.
Wallner’s choice to step away from professional football has sparked a range of reactions.
While some fans and pundits are surprised by his decision to retire at such a young age, many have expressed admiration for his courage and commitment to his beliefs.
His statement also included gratitude to those who have supported him throughout his career.
“I say a big thank you to people who have accompanied and supported me in my sporting career,” he added.
The young midfielder was recently part of the Swiss U21 national team and made his last international appearance in early September during a 1-2 loss to Albania.
