On November 20, "Daily Sports" reported that Lewandowski's new biography "Lewandowski: The Real Him" ​​revealed that Barcelona defender Christensen refused to come on as a substitute against Inter Milan last season.

The book revealed that in the second leg of last season’s Champions League semifinals between Barcelona and Inter Milan, when Barcelona temporarily took the lead and was close to advancing to the final, Christensen refused to come on as a substitute in the 89th minute.

At that time, Inter Milan launched a fierce counterattack. Coach Hansi Flick originally hoped to send the 1.87-meter-tall Christensen to strengthen the air defense, but the Danish defender refused to play due to "back pain".

Although Flick had doubts about his injury, due to time constraints, he could only send in Lewandowski, who had not fully recovered from his injury, in the 90th minute to replace Ferran Torres. In the end, Inter Milan scored a controversial equalizer by Acerbi in the 93rd minute, and defeated Barcelona 4-3 in overtime with Frattesi's goal to advance to the final, but lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the final.

In addition, the book also revealed that Barcelona asked Lewandowski to "not score any more goals" in his first season in order to control bonus payments to Bayern.
