Lewandowski’s Home in Castelldefels Affected by the DANA in Valencia
The meteorological phenomenon known as DANA, which has wreaked havoc across several Spanish cities, recently reached the Castelldefels area, where Robert Lewandowski resides. The "Isolated Depression at High Levels" has caused intense rains that have affected various parts of Barcelona and surrounding areas, including the home of the Polish striker.
Anna Lewandowska, wife of the FC Barcelona player, shared images of their affected home on social media. The videos show the water levels reaching the entrance of their residence and surrounding streets covered by flooding. Castelldefels, known for its high-profile residential areas, has been one of the hardest-hit locations in Barcelona due to the heavy downpours.
Data provided by Meteocat show unprecedented rainfall levels in the region, surpassing 80 liters per square meter in areas like El Prat Airport, with accumulations that could reach up to 180 liters in the coming hours. These conditions have already led to the postponement of some sporting events in the Valencia region and could potentially impact future matches in Catalonia.
The DANA has also cast doubts on the continuation of several football matches across Spain. Despite criticism, La Liga decided to proceed with the matchday, except for certain games in Valencia. However, the situation in Barcelona remains concerning, and similar decisions could arise depending on the weather’s progression.
The emotional impact on teams has not gone unnoticed. Players and coaches, like Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti, have expressed solidarity with the victims and respect for those suffering from the disaster’s consequences. The coach refrained from making statements about football before his match, emphasizing that the primary concern is the well-being of those affected.
For now, Lewandowski and his family remain safe, though vigilant, as Castelldefels faces the growing threat of intense rains.
