Robert Lewandowski: Barcelona striker reaches 100 Champions League goals

Lewandowski has scored 22 goals in 19 games in all competitions this season, nine more than any other La Liga player, including 15 in 14 league matches.

Lewandowski is also only four goals shy of his total tally for last season, when he scored 26 times in 49 games for the Catalan giants.

And when you look at Europe’s top five leagues, it is a similar story to the Champions League for Lewandowski.

He is the third top goalscorer across La Liga, the Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 since joining Dortmund from Lech Poznan in 2010.

Behind, of course, Messi on 408 and Ronaldo with 385.

Lewandowski’s 368 goals put him more than 100 clear of fourth place – Bayern Munich’s England striker Harry Kane, on 263.

Former Liverpool and Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, who now plays alongside Messi at Inter Miami, is next on 248.

Lewandowski shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, since turning 30 on 21 August 2018, he is the top scorer in any of Europe’s top five leagues with 188 goals.

Kylian Mbappe, now at Real Madrid, has scored 166 – mostly for PSG – with Kane, Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah completing the top five.

Some 55 of Lewandowski’s Champions League goals have come since his 30th birthday. Only Ronaldo – with 68 – has scored more aged 30-plus.
