"I understand that Xavi is going through a bad time emotionally"

Robert Lewandowski is one of the key players in the squad to help the Catalan side move forward. The Polish striker gave an interview to 'Sport' to explain how the team feels after Xavi Hernandez's departure at the end of the season.

"I understand what all this means to him. He is a Barcelona fan, he was a player and now he is a coach. From an emotional point of view it is very difficult and I understand him perfectly. Not only him, but also his family," he said.

But the 35-year-old does not want to look to the future, he wants to focus on this season: "It's a time to stay focused until the end of the season. With Xavi we can still win titles and I am 100% focused on this. I'm not thinking about what happens at the end of the season. We have to be focused on the present," he added.

The Pole also spoke about his future: "Yes, of course, it's one of my objectives, to play at the Camp Nou again. It's a magical stadium and I want to play there." 

"I feel very well in the city, my family too, we are very happy and content. I could just be happy with my things at the club, but it's just that everyone else is fine too," he claimed.

Little by little, Lewandowski is regaining his best form, although he is still far from the numbers of his first season as a Barcelona player. He already has a total of 14 goals and five assists in the 31 games he has played so far in all competitions.
