Joining Barcelona, ​​Robert Lewandowski One Step Closer to Ballon d'Or

Robert Lewandowski's reveal is one of the reasons for accepting a proposal from Barcelona. With the Blaugrana, he hopes to realize his dream of winning the Ballon d'Or trophy.

Lewandowski made a surprising move last summer. The Polish striker was willing to leave Bayern Munich for Barcelona.

However, the two teams are in different situations. Munich consistently competes on the championship ladder, while Barcelona is still trying to solve the problem of the financial crisis.

Lewandowski in fact had careful consideration regarding the decision. He considers his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or greater by strengthening Barcelona than Munich.

"I know that Barcelona is a team where most of the players have won it (Ballon d'Or). I think the road (to achieve it) is closer from Barcelona than from Bayern," Lewandowski said as quoted by Goal.

Not without reason, Lewandowski thought that way. His reputation as one of Europe's best bombers seems to be under-recognized just for defending Munich.

Munich really dominates the Bundesliga. This makes Lewandowski often unable to compete in the race for the Ballon d'Or from representatives of other elite European leagues such as the Premier League and LaLiga.

So far, Lewandowski has given evidence that he has no difficulty adapting at Barcelona. He has scored 11 goals in eight games in all competitions.

That performance should have put Lewandowski one step closer to winning the Ballon d'Or. But the road will be more spacious if it is able to bring Barcelona to a prestigious title such as the Champions League.
