Robert Lewandowski was the big protagonist of the day of Champions League of this past Tuesday. The Bayern of Munich surpassed with ease to the Lazio in the gone of the eighth of final by 1-4 and the Pole annotated the first so much. This target was much more that the 0-1, since it meant agrandar his legend in the maximum European competition. With this goal, the 72 of his career in Europe, the '9' surpassed to a myth like Raúl González White.

Up to now, the one of Warsaw empataba with the ex madridista in the third place of the classification of the maxima goleadores of the League of Champions. But with the so much in front of the roman group, the ex of the Borussia Dortmund surpassed at last to the Madrilenian and approached a bit more to the two first qualifiers, that are not others that Cristiano Ronaldo, leader, and Leo Messi, second.

The Portuguese carries 134 targets in Champions, whereas the Argentinian adds 119 and still is something far of the leadership. Now, Lewandowski is already in the podium beside them, although it is too far as to aspire to surpass them some day. It is necessary to take into account that the Pole only has 32 years pair 33, only one less than the one of Rosario, that will fulfil 34 in June, and two less than the one of Madeira, that has fulfilled the 36 in February.

It is evident that to the forward of the Bayern does not go him to give time to aspire to be the maximum goleador of the history of the League of Champions, by what only Messi will be able to snatch him this honour to Cristiano. The '10' is still to 15 so many, but by quality, age and numbers still has his options. Therefore, the one of Warsaw will have to try tie up the third place of the ránking in front of his more direct rival, that is not another that Karim Benzema.

Benzema Pursues to Lewandowski

The madridista carries 69 targets until the moment and is to the doors to surpass to Raúl, that annotated 71. The French is 8 greater months that the one of the muniqueses, by what in this sense does not have any advantage. Besides, it will not play the gone of the eighth of final and perhaps neither arrive to the turn, by what his options to reach to Robert reduce . Still like this, it will litigate all what can to finish his career after Leo and Ronaldo.

Unfortunately for Benzema, Lewandowski and even can that for Cristiano and Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland could surpass them to all some day. The Norwegian carries already 18, whereas the French carries 24, historical numbers for players of his age. The two are in position to become legends in Europe if they keep this rhythm, although only the time will say if they attain it keep and consigen surpass to the others myths.
