10 Football Teammates Who Absolutely Hated Each Other

Robert Lewandowski is one of the most effective strikers in the world at the moment, and a firm favourite among Bayern Munich fans. His first forays into German football came with Borussia Dortmund, who he signed for in 2008, linking up with future Poland international teammate Jakub 'Kuba' Blaszczykowski in the process.

Having a fellow countryman around should've eased Lewandowski's Bundesliga transition, but the duo never got along. They first fell out over their contrasting political views, though the specifics of this altercation have never come to light, and the tension escalated as the years progressed.

Lewandowski took 'Kuba's' international captaincy when he was injured in 2013, and this didn't sit well with Jakub, who spoke out against the decision in the press. Poland's manager chose Lewandowski over his former captain, however, and 'Kuba' was made to sit the next few games out, despite returning to fitness.

The rivalry continued later in the year, when Lewandowski invited every member of the Poland setup to his wedding, aside from Blaszczykowski. The striker was fortunately transferred to Bayern the following year, ending their dispute at club level, and they've since made several international appearances together, despite the captaincy debacle.
