Barcelona confirm Robert Lewandowski is club’s new No. 9

Barcelona officially unveiled Robert Lewandowski at the Camp Nou on Friday and have confirmed the striker will wear the No. 9 shirt at the Camp Nou.

Lewandowski was presented on the pitch wearing the 9 on his back which belonged to Dutchman Memphis Depay last season.

President Joan Laporta was then asked about the squad numbers at a press conference and confirmed Lewandowski would be keeping hold of the 9 for next season.

“Lewandowski’s number 9 was a club decision. For reasons that interest the club, for image and advertising reasons,” he said.
