🎥 Lewandowski overtakes Messi with stunning record, find out what it is | OneFootball

Even without a brilliant performance during much of the game, Robert Lewandowski once again showed his knack for scoring by finding the net twice in Barcelona's 7-2 thrashing of Newcastle.

And these goals had special significance: the Polish striker reached a historic milestone by becoming the player who has scored against the most different opponents in the history of the Champions League. 

Now, 41 different teams have conceded goals to him. He shared this record with Lionel Messi, who scored against 40 opponents. 

At 37 years old, Lewandowski continues to expand his legacy in the tournament. He is the third highest scorer in the Champions League, with 109 goals, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo (140) and Messi himself (129).

He scored 17 goals with Borussia Dortmund, 69 for Bayern Munich, and now, 23 defending Barcelona.

See below which teams these are and the number of goals scored by Lewa:

And now?

Lewa's Barça will face Atlético de Madrid - their nemesis in the Copa del Rey - in the quarter-finals of the UCL.

Matches will be held between April 7 and 15, with Atlético hosting the return leg.

Leading La Liga, the Catalan team will play again on Sunday (22), when they host Rayo Vallecano (13th) for the 29th round of the competition.
