When it comes to all-time Champions League goals, the race for third place is off and running.
In his first Champions League match for Barcelona on Wednesday, Robert Lewandowski scored his 87th and 88th career goals in the competition, breaking a tie for third place on the all-time goalscoring list with Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema.
After fellow summer arrival Franck Kessié opened the scoring against Viktoria Plzeu0148 in the 13th minute, Lewandowski doubled Barcelona’s lead in the 34th minute. The Polish international took a pass at the edge of the penalty area, faked a shot to buy himself space and ripped a shot into the bottom corner for the goal.
