In recent days, excerpts from a new biography on Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski have circulated widely on social media. Written by Sebastian Staszewski, the book titled **‘Lewandowski: The True Story‘** delves into several controversial moments from last season and has reignited debate among Barcelona supporters.
One of the claims concerns Danish defender Andreas Christensen and an alleged incident during the Champions League semifinal second leg against Inter Milan.
According to the biography, Hansi Flick wanted to introduce Christensen late in the match at San Siro in an effort to protect Barcelona’s narrow lead and avoid extra time. However, the defender reportedly informed the coach that he was feeling discomfort in his back.
Staszewski writes that Flick was not entirely convinced by the explanation, as the match situation was becoming increasingly intense and every second mattered. Believing that Barcelona would be facing a wave of crosses from Inter, Flick still hoped to use Christensen’s presence and height to deal with the pressure.
When that option did not materialise, the coach turned instead to Lewandowski, who had also been dealing with discomfort and had not started the match.
The tactical shift failed to change the outcome. Inter equalised through Acerbi in the ninety-third minute to force extra time, and [Frattesi later scored the decisive goal that sent the Italian side into another European final](https://semprebarca.com/martin-9-0-garcia-8-5-inter-milan-4-3-barcelona-player-ratings/).
However, as a form of retaliation to debunk this information, Christensen’s wife, Katrine Friis Christensen, decided to address it herself. As highlighted by [SPORT](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/mujer-christensen-da-cara-responde-124001653), she took to Instagram to deal with this issue and provided a very straightforward reply as a response:
**“Wow, people will write anything for attention.”**
Quite blunt and direct in her words, it is clear that the Christensen family does not appreciate this kind of misinformation. While it is not exactly a guarantee as to which side is right or wrong, it seems clear enough that neither side is in agreement over the matter.
Irrespective of that, however, the goal right now for both Christensen and the rest of the team is to focus on the ongoing campaign. The past is behind them now, but what they can definitely do is make sure that their present and future look brighter moving forward.
