Historical Lewandowski! The 'hat-tricks' faster of the Barça in LaLiga

FC Barcelona beat Alavés on Sunday (0-3) thanks to a hat-trick by Robert Lewandowski in the first half. The Pole, in addition to exceeding 50 goals scored in the tournament, made history with his first hat trick of the season, being one of the fastest in LaLiga history. The '9' scored in minutes 8, 22 and 32. To be exact, in 31 minutes and 6 seconds, the earliest for a culer away from home in the tournament.

Robert opened the scoring with a header in the 8th minute after a free kick served by Raphinha from the right side. The Warsaw player's shot was not entirely clean, as the ball also bounced off his back before entering the goal, but the cross was strong enough to end in a goal. 14 minutes later. The culé forward scored in the race, with one touch, against Siverio, taking advantage of a pass filtered from the left by the Brazilian winger, who masterfully led a lethal counterattack.

After half an hour of play, Lewandowski closed the score with another notable right-footed finish, crossing his shot under pressure from a rival. The assistance was provided by Eric García, who had to enter after 5 minutes after the unfortunate injury to Ferran Torres. Before the Pole, only one Barça player had scored a hat-trick in Mendizorroza: José Samitier, in 1932. The culers' feat, in fact, was also achieved by Ronaldo Nazario (2003) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2016), both with the Real Madrid shirt.

Lewandowski, close to equaling Messi and Eto'o

Lewandowski's hat trick was the fourth fastest in LaLiga history, according to statistics from Alexis Tamayo, 'Mr. Chip'. The list is led by Samuel Eto'o, who on October 25, 2008 scored 3 goals against Almería in just 23 minutes (5-0). In 1954, Justo Tejada did the same against Real Sociedad (6-0, on January 10 of that year), in that case in just 28 minutes. 57 years later, Leo Messi came close to equaling that mark with a hat-trick against Mallorca, on October 29, 2011 (5-0). With the exception of 'Lewy', all these triplets were at Camp Nou.
