At the moment the Polish international is headlining following his unveiling at the Camp Nou today(July 20). Robert Lewandowski has long been regarded as one of the world’s best strikers

Did Robert Lewandowski play as a defender?

However, he was still referred to as a defender when he made his first international appearance for Poland over a decade ago in San Marino.

What position did Robert Lewandowski start?

Robert Lewandowski has been a professional football player playing the striker’s role since 2006.

In the meantime, he has played 640 competitive games, scoring 472 goals and assisting on 129. Those figures place him among the best strikers in history.

The 33-year-old is thus rightfully on the list of candidates for the Ballon d’Or, and many football observers see few serious competitors for Lewandowski.

He has not yet won this award, but it would be logical after being named FIFA World Player of the Year 2020 and having a 41-goal season for FC Bayern in the Bundesliga.
