How Barcelona plan to celebrate Robert Lewandowski’s farewell match at Camp Nou | OneFootball

After four successful years at Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski on Saturday confirmed he is leaving the club at the end of the season.

His announcement came just a day before Barcelona’s final home game of the season against Real Betis, in what is expected to be his final game at the Camp Nou.

To cherish this special occasion, Barcelona have planned a fitting send-off for one of the most successful strikers in their recent history.

According to Diario SPORT, Hansi Flick has confirmed that Lewandowski will start against Betis.

From the very first minute, even before kick-off during the warm-up, the Polish striker is expected to receive a warm reception from the Camp Nou faithful.

Flick is also considering using one of his substitutions specifically to bring Lewandowski off the pitch if the match unfolds as expected.

This would give supporters the opportunity to rise to their feet, give him a standing ovation and chant his name one final time as he walks off the turf he has called home for four seasons.

The farewell will not end there. Once the final whistle blows, Lewandowski plans to take the microphone and address the supporters directly, expressing his gratitude for the love and support he has received throughout his time at the club.

It will be a deeply personal moment for a player who has fallen in love not just with Barcelona as a football club, but with the city and Catalonia as a whole.

His image waving an estelada during the champions’ parade and his parting words on social media, in which he described Catalonia as “my place on earth,” speak volumes about the bond he has built.
