A Barcelona player has paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he considers a source of inspiration.

Thanks to his impressive performances with Al-Nassr (5 goals, 2 assists in 6 appearances in the Saudi Pro League), the 39-year-old striker is still called up to the Portuguese selection, and he is also the subject of praise from some of his peers.
Among them, Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona striker, wanted to pay tribute to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. Flamboyant at the start of the season (10 goals, 2 assists in 9 matches in La Liga), the Polish striker expressed his deep admiration for the former Real Madrid star, whom he considers a model to follow for his impressive career and its longevity.
“I looked at him and tried to…”

Throughout my career, I looked at him and tried to get closer to him, sometimes even surpass him.”he admitted, before adding: “I fully recognize what Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved and how he has shaped the history of football with his records. This will certainly go down in history. At 39, almost 40, he still displays incredible ambition. »
The two football icons will meet again this Saturday during the Poland-Portugal match at the National Stadium in Warsaw, as part of the 3rd day of the Nations League.
