Robert Lewandowski has surpassed Gerd Müller in the classification of the most effective scorers in the history of top European leagues. Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can boast better numbers than our compatriot.
The captain of the Polish national team started Sunday’s match wearing a Barcelona shirt against Sevilla with the intention of contributing to his team’s next victory this season.
The experienced striker achieved his goal and scored a double in the first half of the match. Perhaps he would have had the opportunity to score a hat-trick, but coach Hansi Flick decided to spare his ace for the upcoming clash with Bayern Munich in the Champions League and sent him off in the 66th minute of the match.
The above-mentioned two goals allowed Robert Lewandowski to enter the history of world football by moving to third place in the hierarchy of the most effective scorers in top European leagues with 366 goals.
