Robert Lewandowski draws a comparison between being a Bundesliga champion and winning LaLiga with Barcelona.

Barcelona were recently crowned champions of LaLiga for the 27th time in their history, and striker Roberto Lewandowski explains why it feels different from the league titles he won in the Bundesliga. 

Lewandowski joined Barcelona in the summer from Bayern Munich after winning eight league titles; however, he has suggested the title with the Blaugrana was more special. 

Barcelona are kings of Spain for the 27th time

Xavi's charges were mathematically champions after the win against Espanyol, but it was only yesterday, following the loss at Camp Nou to Real Sociedad, that they were presented the trophy. 

It is their first league title since 2019, and they have achieved it in impressive fashion, with a double-digit lead and games to spare. 

What Lewandowski said about LaLiga and Bundesliga

The former Borussia Dortmund star, elated after their coronation, has drawn comparisons between the Spanish top flight and the German league, which he conquered eight times.

The Polish striker believes the difficulty Barcelona has had to go through and the fact that they are in transition give it a different feel than the ones he won with the Bavarians, where they were super dominant and shoo-ins for the title at the start of every season. 

“I’m proud of the season. Winning the league and Super Copa is a great achievement. This title taste differently than those won with Bayern. And I won 8 in the row. Here we are in the transition. We are building something new.”

Meanwhile, Barcelona vice-president Rafael Yuste has insisted that he would be delighted to have Lionel Messi back at the club this summer.
