10 – that’s how many goals Robert Lewandowski had after nine rounds of La Liga. He had another opportunity to increase his achievements in Sunday’s match against Sevilla at Montjuic. And he did not fail to use it.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the FC Barcelona – Sevilla match
Just over 20 minutes into the game, Raphinha was fouled in the Sevilla penalty area. The referee immediately awarded a penalty kick, and of course the Polish striker approached the ball. And with a sure shot he scored his 11th league goal.
For the 36-year-old, it was the 365th goal scored in European Top 5 league matches. In this way, he equaled the legendary result of Gerd Mueller, who scored all the goals for Bayern Munich. The Pole scored for Borussia Dortmund (74), Bayern (238) and Barcelona.
Robert Lewandowski increased FC Barcelona’s lead. It was enough to add a leg
In the 39th minute, Lewandowski scored for the second time. After a corner kick, Sevilla cleared the ball into the penalty area, which Raphinha was waiting for. He fired a strong and flat shot, and the Pole took advantage of the lack of attention of Lucien Agoume, who was offside, and just added a foot, increasing the score to 3-0 (in the meantime, Pedri scored an impressive goal). And at the same time, he overtook Mueller in the historical classification.
The Pole is also ahead of his rivals in the fight for the crown of La Liga’s top scorer. Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) and Ayoze Perez (Villarreal), who are second in the ranking, have six goals each, and both of them have already played in this round (the Frenchman scored one goal, the Spaniard none).
