Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has revealed he was playing through the pain barrier against Girona on Monday after picking up a knock in El Clasico.
There had been reports Lewandowski was suffering with a back problem after a clash with Eder Militao and the striker has confirmed he has been struggling physically.
“I had a blow against Madrid, but I always want to play. In the second half against Madrid it was complicated. I had to ask for the change. Yesterday I woke up and couldn’t walk, but I tried to play without problems,” he said.
