‘In football everything is possible’: Robert Lewandowski on Poland’s aim to defy the odds at Euro 2024

Sardinia, Italy (CNN) – Poland captain Robert Lewandowski hopes his country can surprise everyone at this summer’s tournament.
Sardinia, Italy (CNN) – Uruguay at the 1950 World Cup. Cameroon at the 1990 World Cup. Greece at Euro 2004. Just some of the shocks that have shaken the game to the core, written unheralded names into soccer folklore and generated stories that have been, and will continue to be, spoken about for generations to come. Could Poland produce an equally seismic surprise at Euro 2024? Even the most optimistic Poland fan, and for that matter soccer fan, would think this to be a pipe dream far beyond one’s wildest imagination. Poland captain Robert Lewandowski, though, thinks otherwise. “In football, you never know. You have to believe and we have the hope,” the country’s iconic forward told CNN’s Sport’s Amanda Davies at the recent inaugural Globe Soccer Awards Europe Edition in Sardinia, Italy.
