Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Barcelona thrashed Newcastle United 7-2 in the Champions League this week.
The Spanish side stormed into the quarter-finals with a huge win over their Premier League opponents, which included a brace for their veteran goalscorer.
Lewandowski has now scored 109 goals in the Champions League, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. However, he’s now broken a record held by the latter after netting against his 41st different opponent in the Champions League.
Newcastle were the 41st team to fall victim to the prolific Pole, as Lewandowski surpassed Messi’s 40-team record.
Benfica have been the forward’s favoured Champions League opponent, with Lewandowski scoring nine times against the Portuguese side. He’s scored six times against Real Madrid, including that unforgettable four-goal semi-final performance in 2013.
