From idol to traitor, Lewandowski is Dortmund's permanent nightmare

In the summer of 2010, Borussia Dortmund signed a young Polish striker from Lech Poznan for €4.75 million. A player who was also liked by Genoa and who, according to the original plans, was supposed to serve as a back-up for Lucas Barrios.

The previous season, the Paraguayan had scored 33 goals in the Bundesliga and Robert Lewandowski, then 19, was not considered a threat.

The story, as we all know, took a completely different turn: in four years, Lewy became an idol in the "Westfalenstadion" until, without leaving a single euro in the coffers of the yellow club, he was transferred to Bayern Munich, the most hated team by the fans, alongside Schalke 04.

From idol, to traitor and constant nightmare of the yellows, as the current Barcelona player has scored 27 goals in 26 games between the championship and the German Cup against his former team.

His contract ended in 2013: Lewandowski left for Bayern after losing the Champions League final against Bayern.

A big blow to the fans, although nobody forgets what he achieved under Jurgen Klopp: over 100 goals in 4 years, leading the team to two Bundesliga titles.

However, the wound still remains open and tomorrow night is not expected to hold a warm welcome for him. In any case, Borussia Dortmund-Barcelona will be his match.
