The 33-year-old,
who signed last month from Bayern Munich for around 50 million euros, was
unveiled as a Barcelona player alongside club president
Joan Laporta.
“I am very proud
to be here ... it is a huge challenge, not just as a striker but also to push
other players to give the best of themselves,” he told a press conference.
Lewandowski joins
Barcelona in the midst of a financial crisis, the club has racked up debts of
almost one billion euros.
He was presented
on the pitch wearing the 9 on his back which belonged to Dutchman Memphis Depay
last season.
“It’s a historic
day...this operation was not easy,” said Laporta.
Lewandowski
joined Bayern in 2014, scoring 344 goals in 375 competitive matches and broke
the Bundesliga’s single-season scoring record.
But he left the German
champions under a cloud after a dispute over a new contract as well as clashing
with coach Julian Nagelsmann over tactical choices.
