FC Barcelona's Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski, scored his 100th and 101st goals in the Champions League on Tuesday against Brest (3-0) on matchday 5.

By converting in the 11th minute a penalty caused by an illegal charge by Brest goalkeeper Marco Bizot in the previous minute, Lewandowski became the third player in history to reach the mark of 100 goals scored after the Argentinian Lionel Messi and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

In added time and while Dani Olmo had scored a second goal in favor of the Catalans (2-0, 66th), Lewandowski carried out a superb oriented control before adjusting Bizot with a curl of the right foot to score a double, taking his Champions League tally to 101 goals.

At 36 years old, the Polish center forward will certainly have difficulty joining Messi and his 129 goals and Cristiano Ronaldo and his 140 goals in the competition, but Lewandowski can console himself by ahead of the two superstars of world football in the ratio of goals scored by number of matches played (0.80 compared to 0.79 for Messi and 0.77 for Ronaldo before the match against Brest).

At Barca since 2022, Lewandowski had previously scored 17 goals when he played for Borussia Dortmund from 2011 to 2014, including his first in C1 in 2011 against Olympiakos, then 69 others in the colors of Bayern Munich from 2014 to 2022. He now has 15 for Barca.

Of his 101 goals scored, he only scored three by hitting from outside the penalty area, confirming his reputation as a goal hunter.

The Pole won a Champions League with Bayern in 2020 and played in a final with Borussia in 2013.
