Florentino has sights set on Lewandowski

One of the unwritten laws of football the world over is: if you hurt me, score against me, and especially score goals that knock me out, next season you'll work for me. That's exactly what is happening to Borussia Dortmund striker, Robert Lewandowski, who has done all three.

Just minutes after Borussia had snatched the Champions League final from the jaws of a sweating, panting Real Madrid in a heart-stopping second leg at the Bernabéu, Florentino Perez approached Lewandowski. The president took him by the arm and led him to one of the offices in the stadium, relatively close to the changing rooms tunnel.

The Borussia striker and the almighty president of Real Madrid talked for about 10 minutes. The Polish star –a hero in Dortmund after scoring four goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal – was shocked at Florentino’s initiative. His claim to fame now is that he has had a meeting very few players in the world have had. Zidane and Kaká are among the privileged few.
