Barca officially announced that Szczesny will return and play for the team for one year. Afterwards, Szczesny accepted an interview with the media.
He said: "This is my supreme moment of pride. To be honest, I was ready to retire. I was satisfied with the situation at the time, but in the first two days I spent here, I felt the warm reception of people, which made me proud and made me realize that I became part of this warm family."
"Barca is a great institution and football club, and the family atmosphere I feel here makes me feel warm. Family is very important to me, and now my family has expanded a little bit."
Speaking of his relationship with Lewandowski, Szczesny said: "Lewandowski was the first person to contact me and asked if I would consider this opportunity. At that time, I had retired and at first I was not ready for a new challenge."
"But communicating with family and friends made me realize that it would be a mistake not to seize this opportunity. Therefore, Lewandowski played a very important role in this decision because he was the first person who thought of this idea and convinced me."
