Robert Lewandowski has left Barcelona and, for the first time in his career, will play outside Europe, after recently being signed by the Chicago Fire of MLS.

The Polish superstar spoke about his decision, emphasizing that his time with the “Blaugrana” had come to an end and that he did not see himself playing for another European team.

“My time at Barcelona had come to an end, and after that, I didn’t want to continue in Europe. I couldn’t imagine myself at any other European club besides the Blaugrana,” Lewandowski said.
