Robert Lewandowski leads the Champions League scoring charts alone. A brace from penalties against Benfica has increased his personal tally to 9 goals, 3 from the penalty spot, in 7 games and he remains at the top of the table. His teammate Raphinha, with 8 goals, is his closest rival, in addition to Guirassy, from Borussia Dortmund, who has scored 7 goals.
Likewise, the Pole's average of sending 1.29 balls into the back of the net per game is not the only surprising fact. The Eastern European native has the second best ratio of goals to playing time. He scores one every 63 minutes. He is the second best in the league, behind only Nemanja Radoncic, from Red Star, who has his mark at 52 minutes. The difference between the two is that the Barça player is usually a starter, while the Serbian usually starts from the bench and enters the field after the first hour of the match.
The reality is that, after a month of a certain drought, Robert is back to 100% in 2025. He has played 5 out of 6 games, having been left on the bench in the Copa del Rey tie, and has scored 5 goals. These are shared between a double against Barbastro and another against Benfica and a goal and an assist against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final. He is the top scorer in LaLiga with 16 goals in 19 games and has a ratio of one goal every 98 minutes.
In this way, Lewandowski already has 28 goals in 29 games. With the double against Benfica, he surpassed his mark from last season, set at 26, with 20 games less. Likewise, he is 4 away from equalling the figure of his first season as a culé, in which he scored 32 goals in 46 games. He is 36 years old, but it is plausible that he is still in top form.
