Lewandowski makes a bold statement for Real Madrid

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski said his team would not be afraid to face Real Madrid, which is strengthened by Kylian Mbappe next season. This summer 2024, it seems there will be a mega transfer taking place. La Liga giants Real Madrid look set to land the French striker Kylian Mbappe. Previously, the 25-year-old goal-scoring machine Mbappe's contract at PSG ended in the summer of 2024. The French forward has confirmed he will leave Parc des Princes after his contract expires. Madrid is widely said to be Mbappe's next career port, moreover, Los Blancos have been desperate to recruit him for a long time.

The Real Madrid squad will be very scary with the presence of Kylian Mbappe, they are likely to have the trio of Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Jude Bellingham. This trio has the potential to threaten their arch-rivals Barcelona in the upcoming season. However, the 35-year-old star striker Robert Lewandowski emphasized that the Blaugrana will not be afraid to face El Real next season.

"It's not official yet, but it seems all roads lead to Real Madrid. Afraid? No," stressed Lewandowski to Marca. The Polish striker admitted that Real Madrid would be very strong if Kylian Mbappe was there, however, he believes Barcelona can still beat Madrid. Lewandowski said there was only one key; Barcelona must be able to play compactly. "Of course, he is an extraordinary player and if he goes to Real Madrid, it will be a very strong team. But our mentality must also be that no matter how good a player you have, if we are one team and work together, we can beat you," Lewandowski said.
