🎥 Robert Lewandowski refuses to explain signature goal celebration | OneFootball

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski says his famous goal celebration is a family secret he won’t be revealing any time soon.

Lewandowski needs just two more goals to take his tally to 200 for Bayern and the 31-year-old recently signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2023.

But when asked to explain why he usually celebrates by crossing his arms over his chest with his fingers pointed up, the Pole remained tight-lipped.

“The celebration has something to do with my daughter,” he told Bayern’s YouTube channel.

“I don’t want to go into details, it’s a little secret!

“I want to show that my family are always behind me, as that has helped me a lot in my career as a footballer.

“There’s so much euphoria [when you score] that you just don’t think. It just happens.

“Sometimes I think afterwards, ‘what did I do?’ You just do whatever your heart or head tells you to do, which is what happens to me on the pitch.

“That moment when you score a goal and 80,000 fans cheer your name is a really special feeling. You get goosebumps and just want to fly. But I also know that you need to come back to reality after just a few seconds – you can’t let the euphoria show.

“It’s hard to explain what you experience in that moment. I wish everyone could enjoy that feeling at least once in their life.”

Lewandowski first arrived in the Bundesliga when he joined Borussia Dortmund from Polish side Lech Poznan back in 2010, and he admits he initially found it quite difficult to settle in Germany.

“The first six months, I have to be honest, were really difficult for me,” he said.

“I couldn’t speak a word of German. I could only say ‘thank you’ and ‘shit’! It wasn’t easy to learn a new culture and language. I knew that I needed to power through and then I could focus on football.

“It was a special feeling when I first put the [Bayern] shirt on. It was the first time I could really feel the weight of a huge club on the shirt I was wearing. I was really proud. I knew that I could develop here and that I wanted to come here and stay.”
