Top Barcelona star lauds Ronaldo
FC Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski offered high praise for Ronaldo's legacy ahead of Poland's UEFA Nations League clash with Portugal.
"I fully recognise what Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved throughout his career and how he has shaped the history of football with his records," Lewandowski said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
"This will undoubtedly be etched into football history. At 39, nearing 40, he still demonstrates incredible ambition."
Lewandowski's red-hot form this season
As Lewandowski offered his respect for Ronaldo, he, too, has been enjoying a blistering start to the 2024/25 campaign.
According to Transfermarkt, the Polish striker has netted 10 goals and provided two assists in just nine La Liga matches for Barcelona, averaging a goal every 74 minutes.
His lethal finishing and tactical intelligence have helped Barcelona rise to the top of the table. After nine games, Barcelona has a three-point lead over rivals Real Madrid.
As Lewandowski continues his dominance in Spain, he follows a path paved by Ronaldo, embodying the same qualities of perseverance and hunger for success that have defined CR7’s storied journey.
