Goalscorer Robert Lewandowski, 36, has joined another elite circle: “Years ago I wouldn’t have thought that I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. Catching up with Messi and Ronaldo… – I think they’re good, right?” joked the Pole after his FC Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Stade Brest, in which he scored his 100th goal with a penalty to make it 1-0 had scored in the Champions League. Only the former world footballers Cristiano Ronaldo (140 goals) and Lionel Messi (129) had previously achieved this in the premier class.
In the final phase, Lewandowski even scored his 101st goal – in his 125th Champions League appearance. Messi once scored his 100th goal in the 123rd game, while Ronaldo needed 144 games to achieve it. Lewandowski now has the chance to even surpass the two icons who emigrated abroad. “He also broke every record in Munich,” said Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, adding that Lewandowski was “unbelievable.”
