Poland international Robert Lewandowski was officially unveiled as a player for Spanish giants FC Barcelona on Friday afternoon.

The 33-year-old sealed a move to the Blaugrana this summer, penning a 3-year contract thereby ending his 8-year relationship with Bayern Munich.

The Pole had forced a move away from the Bundesliga giants after handing in a transfer request following a falling out with the club’s hierarchy.

The Pole did a few skills in front of an adoring crowd – and he well and truly put on a show.

But what really caught the fans' attention was one particular trick - Lewandowski balancing the ball on his lips.

Many remembered Ronaldinho doing the same during his presentation in 2003.

It's unclear whether this was a special tribute or a simple coincidence. What is certain is that the fans are as excited about Lewandowski as they were about Ronnie back in the day.
