The proceeds from the auction were allocated to the foundation established by Tomala, “ToMali winners”, namely the 12-year-old Kacper Woźniak, who fights to walk on his own.
Lewandowski gave the medal to Tomala
Unexpectedly, the bidding was won by Lewandowski, who immediately announced that Tomala would return the auctioned medal. The gentlemen met on Sunday afternoon at Lewandowski’s Nine’s restaurant in Warsaw. The captain used the time he had after his arrival in the country for the training camp starting on Monday before the friendly game against Scotland and the play-off final for promotion to the World Cup.
Lewandowski appeared in Poland several hours after another very good match in the Bundesliga. On Saturday Bayern Munich defeated Union Berlin 4-0, and our team captain scored two goals.
On Sunday morning, Lewandowski was a guest of the “Dzień dobry TVN” program, in which he told, among others, about how the Polish representatives decided not to play against Russia in the play-off match for promotion to the World Cup.
– Our decision was dictated by values and solidarity with Ukraine. There was no thought what the possible consequences would be and what might happen. We just couldn’t imagine going out on the pitch and playing against the Russian national team. That suddenly one of us will switch and forget about what happened and what is happening there. It was impossible for us -.
