Robert Lewandowski has been in excellent form for Barcelona, ​​scoring 11 goals in eight matches played. More than 10 years ago, the fate of the Pole could have been completely different when he played for Poznań “Lech”.

In 2010, Lewandowski moved from Lech Poznań to Borussia Dortmund, which was then coached by Jurgen Klopp.

However, the Pole was very close to breaking into the Premier League.

A volcanic eruption prevented Robert Lewandowski from signing a contract with a Premier League club

Lewandowski was supposed to visit the bases of Blackburn Rovers, who played in the Premier League in 2010.

The contract was supposed to be signed, but the striker never arrived in England because, as crazy as it sounds, the eruption of the volcano in Iceland (Eyjafjörður) caused a disruption in air travel, according to Marca.com.

Lewandowski long ago admitted that his whole career could have looked different if he had signed for Blackburn.

Robert Lewandowski moved to Bayern Munich in 2014 and moved to Barcelona this summer for €45 million.
