Speaking to the media after the game (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Lewandowski expressed his delight in reaching the landmark figure of 100 Champions League goals.

“Years ago I didn’t think I would reach my 100th goal in the Champions League,” said the forward, who is still going strong at the age of 36.

“It’s good to have your name next to Cristiano and Messi. I’m very happy, I didn’t think I would score this many goals in the Champions League,” added Lewandowski, whose current UCL goals tally stands at 101, following the brace against Brest.

Lewandowski on Brest win

Lewandowski also discussed Barcelona’s performance against Brest, notably lauding the team’s mentality and positive momentum.

“We played as a team, we played slowly at times but with patience. The important thing is that we have 3 more points. We have to look not only at the Champions League but also at the league. We know that we have to play every game at 100%,” he said.

“For me, the most important thing is to win every game, scoring a goal is the solution to win but until the end of the year, you have to win every game,” the striker added.

Finally, the Pole also talked about Pedri and Marc Casado, lauding their potential and how a little bit of team rotation can do the trick.

“Pedri and Casado have great quality, all the players have quality. We also need a little bit of rotation. This season there are a lot of games and it doesn’t matter who we play against, we just want to win,” he concluded.
