Robert Lewandowski continued his fine form as he scored twice to help Barcelona beat Red Star Belgrade 5-2 last night. The 36-year-old took his season tally to 19 goals in 16 games in all competitions to move within one goal of becoming only the third player in history to reach a century of Champions League goals, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Rebort Lewandowski Eyes 100 Champions League Goal
The Poland international’s reactive finish after Brazilian Raphinha’s shot rebounded off the post restored Barcelona’s lead before half-time, with Inigo Martinez’s 13th-minute header cancelled out by Silas Katompa Mvumpa’s opener against the run of play.
The Spanish side came out of the half time looking hot as they gave two early goals to ensure they won the day. Jules Kounde assisted Lewandowski and Raphinha before also teeing up Fermin Lopez late on.
The win has lifted Barcelona up to sixth in the new 36-team league format. Robert Lewandowski will have the chance to score his 100th Champions League goal at home when they play Brest later this month
