Poland captain Robert Lewandowski has hinted at his international retirement following the country's failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, ​marking the potential end for the national team's all-time leading goalscorer, Reuters reported. 

The 37-year-old cut a dejected figure as the final whistle confirmed Poland's absence from the world stage following the 3-2 defeat by Sweden in Tuesday's qualification playoff final.

Hours after the ​loss in Stockholm, Lewandowski posted a photo of himself on social ​media leaving the pitch, accompanied by Sarah Brightman and Andrea ⁠Bocelli's song "Time to Say Goodbye".
