In an interview, Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski addressed the topic he mentioned in his biography, where he was told by Barcelona that they asked him to stop scoring goals in order to pay him less bonus.
Is it true that Barcelona asked you to stop scoring goals to avoid paying a bonus to Bayern Munich?
Lewandowski: "There are some things I don't want to talk about. I respect FC Barcelona and everyone who works at the club. I understand the club's situation. Many things need to be resolved for the club's benefit."
"In short, it was a bonus. At that time, Barcelona was very careful with every euro; it wasn't a small matter."
"For me, it didn't change anything, and I wasn't bothered by it, but I would always be thinking about whether I should score goals or not."
