Robert Lewandowski sat at the table with Messi and Cristiano as the only players with 100 or more goals in the Champions League
Robert Lewandowski is already part of the Champions League. With his brace against Brest, the FC Barcelona star has now scored 101 goals in the top club competition, joining Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the only three players to have scored 100 or more goals in the tournament.
The Pole has transferred his brutal start to the season in LaLiga to the European championship, where he has scored six goals in the five games played under Hansi Flick this season and has scored 14 goals in total since his arrival in Barcelona.
Lewandowski, the most lethal 'killer' in the Champions League
These 14 goals as a Barça player are added to the 17 he scored with Borussia Dortmund and the 69 he scored in total during his successful time at Bayern Munich. In addition, the Pole has an average of 0.80 goals in his 125 Champions League games. The same as Messi and slightly better than Cristiano (0.77 in his 183 matches).
Precisely, the Portuguese and the Argentine occupy the first and second positions of the ranking, respectively. Below 'Lewy' are Karim Benzema (90 goals in 152 games) and Raúl (71 goals in 142 games), closing the 'TOP 5', while Van Nistelrooy (56), Müller (54), Henry (50), Di Stéfano (49) and Mbappé (49) complete the top ten places.
