Robert Lewandowski, the relentless killer of the FC Barcelona surfaces, wrote a new chapter in his Champions League odyssey on Wednesday evening in Belgrade. With a double against Red Star (2-5), the Polish striker brought his total to 99 goals in UEFA’s flagship competition, thus consolidating his place as third top scorer in history, behind the inaccessible Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
This performance delighted his coach, Hansi Flick, who made it known at a post-match press conference. “If I had known before, I might not have replaced him. It’s my fault, but we also have to think about the next match.”confided the German tactician.
This success on Serbian soil, the third in a row in the Champions League, reinforces the momentum of renewal inspired by the former Bayern technician. Thanks to this victory, Barça climbs to 6th place in the ranking.
