Barcelona striker Lewandowski: First World Cup goal very special

Robert Lewandowski is floating after scoring in Poland's World Cup win against Saudi Arabia.

Lewandowski netted his first goal in the World Cup in Poland's 2-0 win.

The Barcelona forward missed a penalty against Mexico and was delighted when he found the net from close range.

"I'm aware that this may be my last World Cup," said Lewandowski.

"Already during the anthem, singing the national anthem, I felt the emotions inside me. I wanted not only to be remembered for being at the World Cup, but for scoring goals there too. I always fought hard for a goal at the World Cup and today, I managed it.

“During the game after we scored, everything that I had inside, the dreams and the importance of the goal and how I scored it, all those dreams from my early childhood were just fulfilled, they came true and it was so significant."
