Lewandowski: After so many years in one league, in one country, I think I achieved everything I could achieve. 

I'm very glad about what I won with Bayern Munich, what I achieved there. But in the end, you're thinking not only about football in terms of football, but you're thinking about football as your life.

 And at one point I thought: 'OK, I have achieved everything, I have a comfort zone there, but in the end what makes me more happy?' i thought maybe I need a change.

the Poland striker wanted a new challenge. He wanted to help take Barca back to the top of Spanish and European football

Domestically, things are going well. His 15 goals in 21 appearances have helped Barca built a nine-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga heading into Sunday's Clasico. 

He also scored in the Supercopa triumph over the same opponents in January.
