Robert Lewandowski says life with Barcelona is fulfilling expectations.

The striker says leaving Bayern Munich for Barca has rejuvenated him.

In an interview granted to the Polish magazine Kwartalnik Sportowy, he said: "In Spain, technical plays are more appreciated. In Germany, the focus is always on order, intensity and winning games. Here, every little technical trick or dribble is valued.

This transfer has been a "breath of fresh air that will help me not to feel tired in the coming years.

"When I saw how determined they were to sign me, I knew that this transfer was much more realistic than any of my previous links with Madrid.

"Living in Spain and playing in LaLiga was always a dream, not only in sporting terms but also in personal life.

"It's not as bad as I expected, people respect my privacy. Of course, Barcelona is a tourist place, during the season there are many visitors, so this could change. We are an active family, we like to walk."
