“A wonderful moment”, “You have my respect”, “Stylish gesture”: English fans and media in particular expressed their enthusiasm via Twitter about a gesture by Poland superstar Robert Lewandowski before the World Cup qualifier (1-1) against England on Wednesday evening. Lewandowski was visibly bothered by the loud whistles of the Polish fans in Warsaw as a reaction to an action by the English before kick-off. As during the European Championship, the English players went on one knee before kick-off as a sign against racism and for equality.

And how did Lewandowski react to the whistle concert? With a simple gesture. The reigning world footballer looked somewhat annoyed in the direction of the Polish fans and pointedly tapped his sleeve repeatedly with his finger. The UEFA “Respect” logo was shown there.

At the end of the game, Lewandowski should also cheer. A goal by Damian Szymanski after preparatory work by the Bayern star in stoppage time saved Poland 1: 1 (0: 0) against the Three Lions, who had taken the lead through Harry Kane (72nd). With four points ahead of Albania and five points over Poland, England are still in good shape in the World Cup qualifiers.
