According to his new biography by Polish journalist Sebastian Staszewski, after Barcelona had already clinched the La Liga title, the club told Lewandowski to hold back.
His reaction?
Confusion and disbelief.
The reason?
Every extra goal could have triggered additional bonuses to Bayern Munich as part of his transfer deal. To save money, Barça quietly asked him to stop scoring.
In the end, Lewandowski finished the season with 23 goals, intentionally going scoreless in the last two matches.
A shocking glimpse into the hidden side of football, where strategy, money, and star players collide.
