Poland

GROUP E

Led by the ‘best striker in the world’ Robert Lewandowski, Poland are a side every opposition should tread carefully. Even apart from the brilliant Lewandowski, they have a strong squad with quality players from Europe’s top leagues ready to make their mark.

After progressing into the quarter-finals last season, Poland aims to replicate that or do one better & will hope that Lewandowski taps into his best form to take them far forward.

STAR PLAYER

As unfair as it wouldd be to term Poland as a ‘one-man team’, Robert Lewandowski is the reason many will be watching their games. The Bayern Munich striker is on fire & is at the peak of his career. Lewandowski is coming into this after an amazing season with Bayern Munich – for whom he scored 48 (!!) goals in 40 games – including 41 in 29 Bundesliga games.

The 32-year-old striker is a nightmare to deal with, but he knows that chances won’t come as freely in the Euros for him as it does for Bayern’s games. Poland’s all-time top scorer has to adapt to his situation in creating chances for himself by linking up well with teammates and getting into deadly areas to bang in match-winners for his side to take them far into the tournament.

ACHIVEMENT

Quarter Finals (2016)

Apart from the Euro 2020 edition, Poland has participated in three UEFA European Championships so far: Euro 2008, Euro 2012 and Euro 2016. Their best ever run came in 2016 when they got knockout at Quarter final stage
