It's all about sports in the Lewandowski family. Robert's
father, Krzysztof, was a Polish judo champion, and
he also played football for Hutnik Warszawa in the
second division. His mother, Iwona, is a former volleyball
player for AZS Warszawa and later vice-president of
Partyzant Leszno. His sister, Milena, also plays volleyball
and has represented the Under-21 national team. His
wife, Anna Lewandowska, won the bronze medal at the
2009 Karate World Cup.
Lewandowski was given a name that would make it easier
for him when moving abroad as a professional footballer.
In 2006-07, Lewandowski was the Polish third division's
top goal scorer with 15 goals. In 2007-08 he was the
top scorer in the Polish second division with 21 goals,
and in 2009-10 he was the top scorer in the top division.
Lewandowski is a practising Catholic. He met Pope
Francis in October 2014 when Bayern Munich visited
Vatican City following a 7-1 win over AS Roma.
