Most challenging year ahead for Bayern Munich, says Lewandowski

TIL Desk Sports/ Robert Lewandowski is convinced that Bayern Munich’s players face the most challenging year of their careers going into the 2020/21 season, where they seek to defend last season’s treble of Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League.

“Everyone will be desperate to beat Europe’s top team,” the 32-year-old told before the Bavarians’ 2020/21 Bundesliga curtain-raiser against Schalke on Friday. “Staying at the top might be much harder than getting to the top. One has to consider all the possible details both on and off the pitch.”

The Pole spoke about his side’s determination to repeat last season’s success. “We did something big, but to go on successfully means forgetting about the past,” said Poland’s captain. Having to play every two to three days after only one week of rest “is the biggest challenge all of us have had to face in their career so far”. “We love that challenge.”
