On Tuesday, a prominent forward for La Liga giants Barcelona continued to etch his name into the annals of European football history.
Much of this success stemmed from his performance in Barcelona’s Champions League clash with Young Boys. Hansi Flick’s team made a strong return to the continent, securing a dominant 5-0 victory.
Among the goalscorers that night was Robert Lewandowski, who scored twice—once before halftime and once after—to bring his season total to nine goals in ten appearances. With this performance, the Polish veteran continued to make history.
According to statisticians at Opta, Lewandowski has achieved a remarkable goal-scoring ratio of 0.79 goals per game throughout his Champions League career. This impressive figure is matched only by one other player in the competition’s history with over 50 goals: the legendary Lionel Messi.
