First Reaction to the Whistle Concert at Signal Iduna Park
Robert Lewandowski’s Message to Dortmund Fans: Stop It!
Last night during the match between Dortmund and Barcelona, the Yellow Wall repeatedly whistled against Robert Lewandowski, creating a tough atmosphere for him. Lewandowski reacted to this incident.
According to reports, Robert Lewandowski returned last night to the stadium where he once played for Borussia Dortmund—Signal Iduna Park. The Dortmund fans made it extremely difficult for their former star.
Barcelona traveled to Germany for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals to face Dortmund. Despite winning the first leg 4-0, Barcelona lost 3-1 last night. Throughout the match, Dortmund fans created a hostile environment for Lewandowski, whistling every time he touched the ball, disrupting his concentration.
The hatred of Dortmund fans towards Lewandowski did not subside even after the match, as they heavily criticized the Polish striker on social media. Dortmund fans have not forgiven Lewandowski for leaving the club in 2014 to join their rivals, Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski reacted to the whistles for the first time in an interview with Bild, saying: “I understand the fans. But the fans should also understand me. I have shown many times how much respect I have for Borussia Dortmund. I only have good memories of Dortmund, memories that will stay with me forever. I had a great feeling returning to Dortmund’s stadium.”
