Robert Lewandowski says moving to Barcelona has increased his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or.

The former Bayern Munich striker has made a superb start to his Barca career.

He said while speaking to the Polish media: "Winning the Ballon d'Or? I know that Barcelona is the team where the most players have won the Ballon d'Or.

"I think there is a shorter path to the Ballon d'Or from Barça than from Bayern."

On facing Bayern in the Champions League this month, he added, “The game against Bayern was a big challenge for me. It was impossible for me to stop all these feelings. It was more than a sporting match for me, it was an emotional match."
