Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski on Sunday hit an altogether noteworthy benchmark when it comes to goals scored for the Blaugrana.
This comes owing to developments in Barca’s La Liga meeting with Real Sociedad.
Hansi Flick’s troops of course played host to La Real a short time ago, eyeing a return to the summit of the La Liga table after being overtaken by Atlético Madrid yesterday evening.
And, when all was said and done, march on to all three points is precisely what the hosts managed.
Owing to an utterly dominant display, Barcelona emerged on the right side of a 4-0 result, set in motion by Aritz Elusondo’s red card inside the 20-minute mark.
Rounding out the goalscoring for the Catalans was the aforementioned Robert Lewandowski, who managed to redirect a long-range effort on the part of Ronald Araújo into the bottom corner of the net.
And as alluded to above, such efforts on the part of the Pole have since given rise to a head-turning stat.
As revealed by statisticians Opta, with 34 goals to his name, Lewandowski has overtaken his previous best goalscoring season in Barcelona colours (33 in 2022/23).
