Robert Lewandowski Starts Planning Retirement With 1–4 Year Horizon

The Barcelona veteran frames his next step as listening to his body rather than meeting a deadline.

Overview

  • Lewandowski says he could stop playing in one to four years and stresses he feels no pressure to set a date.
  • He credits roughly 90% of his success to psychological work, as he explained on the High Performance podcast.
  • His regimen combines about three weekly team sessions, depending on the match calendar, with demanding individual training.
  • He points to long-term habits—healthy eating with gluten removed and about eight hours of sleep—as keys to his longevity.
  • He says he eased an initially hard-line approach with Barcelona’s younger players and remains under contract through June 2026.
