'I could only say Thank You & S**T' - Lewy admits it wasn’t easy to learn German

Lewandowski admits that he initially found the move, his first outside of his native Poland, to be a real challenge, though he did still notch his first eight Bundesliga goals.

"The first six months, I have to be honest, were really difficult for me,” he said.

"I couldn’t speak a word of German. I could only say ‘thank you’ and ‘s**t’! It wasn’t easy to learn a new culture and language. 

"I knew that I needed to power through and then I could focus on football.

"It was a special feeling when I first put the [Bayern] shirt on. It was the first time I could really feel the weight of a huge club on the shirt I was wearing. 

"I was really proud. I knew that I could develop here and that I wanted to come here and stay.”
