What Did Aguirre Say About Lewandowski?
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Aguirre said to SPORT: “Oh my God. I’ve seen him on TV. It’s a good signing for the league.
“It gives the league attention all over the world. He’s a killer in the penalty area, you can’t give him one free inch.”
Aguirre also discussed the injuries sustained by Barcelona players over the international break. He wished Ronald Araujo, in particular, a swift recovery in the hopes that the Uruguayan would qualify for the World Cup.

“We always like the best to be on the field. Whoever plays will do well. With or without casualties, they will complicate it a lot for us, for sure.”
