Barcelona won’t fear Real Madrid with Mbappé – Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona’s forward Robert Lewandowski said they won’t fear Real Madrid with the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappe for the upcoming season. Barca are currently 12 points behind the La Liga champions.

The Los Blancos are all set to face Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final on June 1st. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are expected to strengthen their squad by adding the French international. Mbappe’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain has come to a close and he is all set to join Madrid.

Furthermore, Madrid beat Barca on both occasions this season and the latter will have their work cut out when Mbappe joins.

“Scared? No,” Lewandowski said as quoted by ESPN. “Of course, Mbappé is an amazing player and if he joins Real Madrid, the team, the players will be very strong. But our mindset will be like, it doesn’t matter how good players they are. If we as a team are working together, with the mindset that we can beat them, we can compete with them.”

Lewandowski scored 23 goals in his maiden season with Barcelona and helped the Catalan club in winning the La Liga.

“We have to be ready from the first game, from the first minute,” he said. “Because Real Madrid for sure will have some time when they don’t play well, losing points, and we have to be ready for this, to not only catch them but maybe to get ahead of them. Like two years ago, the season before, there were always some games we couldn’t win, but we didn’t lose.”

Madrid already has players like Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo Goes, and Jude Bellingham. They have also secured the services of 17-year-old Brazilian Endrick.

“It’s a winning group,” Endrick said in an interview with Diario AS. “No player is a threat to any other. The best club in the world always has to look for the best in every position, always. Being alongside great players will only help me improve, get to a higher level, and win more trophies.”

Madrid plays Real Betis in their last La Liga game of 2023-24 on Saturday.
