Bayern ‘ll welcome Lewandowski warmly when he returns with Barca: Nagelsmann
Robert Lewandowski deserves to receive a positive reception when he returns to Bayern Munich as an FC Barcelona player, Julian Nagelsmann, coach of the German side, said on Friday.
Lewandowski is set for a swift visit to his former club after Barca were drawn to face the Bundesliga champions in Group C of the UEFA Champions League, alongside Inter Milan and Viktoria Plzen.
Nagelsmann believes Bayern Munich’s fans will give Lewandowski a warm welcome on his Allianz Arena return, declaring, “I think there will be applause.”
“I never like it when someone gets whistled. I don’t know all of the processes [leading to his exit]; the fan in the stadium are even further away.
“There is always a second truth, that things are exaggerated, mistranslated,” he said.
Lewandowski, who scored his first competitive goals for Barca in a 4-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad last week, left Bayern Munich in a somewhat acrimonious fashion.
This was after declaring that something had “died” within him in Germany.
Meanwhile, on Bayern Munich’s tough-looking European draw, Nagelsmann added, “It’s a challenging group, but we can and want to come through it.”
