The FC Barcelona forward, In August he will be 36 years old, not giving up on continuing to defend his country’s colors after this Tuesday’s match at Signal Iduna Park, the last Poland in this tournament after defeats against the Netherlands (1-2) and Austria (1-3). “I don’t want to regret retiring too soon when I could still play longer. I don’t want to fight this decision when the time comes. For now, however, it hasn’t come yet,” he said.
The two-time winner of the European Golden Shoe warned that this decision, on the day he makes it, will be made in the strictest privacy with his closest circle. “I need to feel it inside me. Surely no one can influence my decision. It’s just me and my family, no one from outside,” he said.
