9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Ritchie]

About time he won a big prize. No CL yet.

 

[raskolnikov]

Heading towards 50/60 goals and all sorts of record this season.
Crazy how much he scores nowadays. Endless self improving work ethic having a career best season.
Best goalscorer in the world atm.

 

[Hardy]

damn, he's going for 60

 

[vegitot]

this guy is on fire.
dont think messi can score more than him this seaspn

 

[KingLeo10]

damn, he's going for 60

In the season Messi scored 73, he had about 27 by end of the calendar year.

In the season Messi scored 60 (cut-short by injury v PSG), he had about 35 by the end of the calendar year.

Lewa is on course for 60-65 if he keeps up this rate and Bayern go deep in the CL.

Anything above 60 would be the third highest total in European football history. After Messi and Gerd Muller.

 

[Devils]

Best player in the world.

 

[Havesaks]

1 assist / 20 games

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

If Bayern wins CL, this guy will be Bdor winner.

 

[Messigician]

Overrated.

Bayern due a yearly champions league by a Spanish club. I hope we get them in the draw

 

[Yannik]

63 CL goals now. Only 1 goal behind Benzema in the all time CL chart.
Short reminder at this point that Lewandowski only ever plays in this tournament since 2011 when he was 23 years old.

He was a late bloomer, so it's not like he has been "cheated" for chl goals.

Not that impressive since Benzema opted to be Ronaldo’s lackey.

 

[MTL_Barca]

Not that impressive since Benzema opted to be Ronaldo’s lackey.

And that still got him to top 4:


127: Cristiano Ronaldo (POR, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus)
113: Lionel Messi (ARG, Barcelona)
71: Raúl González (ESP, Real Madrid, Schalke)
64: Karim Benzema (FRA, Lyon, Real Madrid)
63: Robert Lewandowski (POL, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern München)
56: Ruud van Nistelrooy (NED, PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United, Real Madrid)
50: Thierry Henry (FRA, Monaco, Arsenal, Barcelona)
48: Zlatan Ibrahimović (SWE, Ajax, Juventus, Internazionale Milano, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United)
48: Andriy Shevchenko (UKR, Dynamo Kyiv, AC Milan, Chelsea)
46: Filippo Inzaghi (ITA, Juventus, AC Milan)

Interesting how many legends barely even hit 50, really shows the consistency of Lewandowski/Benzema in being starters for Bayern/Real for many years now. And of course how unreal the numbers of Messi and Ronaldo are.

 

[El Flaco]

Comparison between Lewy & Benzema's CL-stats during 2010s decade with per 90 metrics.

 

[raskolnikov]

I have to say cl was more even back in the day. Nowadays the big teams often bully the likes of red star. A cl hattrick used to be very rare, let alone 4 goals.
Its not weird guys like henry,ruud, ronaldo, sheva or inzaghi barely cracked 50.
