Robert Lewandowski has explained why he decided to move to Barcelona after spending eight seasons at Bayern Munich.

The Polish attacker also found that Real Madrid had also shown interest in him.

And when I saw Barcelona's desire to sign with me, I realized that my move there was possible. I knew the next step in my career should be this”, he said in an interview for “Canal Sportsky”.

I always wanted to play in La League and live in Spain. Now I feel resurrected. I'm learning Spanish, and I'm getting it a little bit better. It helps me a lot that English is understood in the dressing room”, the 34-year-old added.
