Robert Lewandowski has had the best possible start to his Barcelona career, with 8 goals in 6 La Liga matches, and 11 goals in 8 games in all competitions.

The Poland has also admitted that he’s settling fine in his new environment and that he feels great to be at the club.

“I feel great in Barcelona, my adaptation has been very good,” said Lewandowski to local media.

“I know that the path here was not easy, but now I am at Barcelona, which is where I wanted to be and that is the most important thing.

“I already know some words in Spanish. I learned how to ask for food in a restaurant. New culture, places, cities, they are things I could learn after a few weeks. Maybe with time I realised what I could learn even unconsciously.

“I am learning how another club works, how it’s managed. They are new and interesting experiences. Looking at it all changes your perspective. To have the chance to be at these type of clubs is an added value, not just for the coming months and years but for life.”

Asked about Barcelona youth players looking up to him, he said: “I don’t feel like their guru. They are well informed, open to speaking and aren’t afraid of asking anything. I share my knowledge and experience with them.

“Remember there are some experienced players at Barcelona and I don’t belong just with them or the young group; arriving at a new team you have to have good contact with everyone.

“Although they are very young, they are already showing good qualities and they will improve very quickly.”
