WHAT HAPPENED? Appearing in his fifth match at a World Cup finals, the Barcelona striker finally got his first goal as he doubled Poland’s lead 82 minutes into the Group C match.
WHAT THEY SAID: “I’m aware that this may be my last World Cup,” he said. “Already during the anthem, singing the national anthem, I felt the emotions inside me. I wanted not only to be remembered for being at the World Cup, but for scoring goals there too. I always fought hard for a goal at the World Cup and today, I managed it.”
He added at a press conference: “During the game after we scored, everything that I had inside, the dreams and the importance of the goal and how I scored it, all those dreams from my early childhood were just fulfilled, they came true and it was so significant.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: After Saturday’s victory, Poland have four points from two matches and are in a strong position to qualify for the next round ahead of their final game of the group stage.
