'There was a lot of bulls**t said about me': Robert Lewandowski hits out at Bayern Munich for lying about his exit to Barcelona after bitter end to his time at the club... and insists he didn't leave because they tried to sign Erling Haaland

Former Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has hit back at the club for lying about the terms of his departure this summer.

The 33-year-old brought his eight-year stay with the German champions to an end after completing a £42.5million move to Barcelona.

Several reports had suggested the Bayern's interest in Erling Haaland, who eventually joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund, was the driving force in Lewandowski seeking a move away.

But the Polish striker says those reports are wide of the mark and he would not have had a problem with Haaland joining the club.
