Another member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has this evening surpassed his goalscoring tally for the entirety of last season.
This comes owing to developments in Barcelona’s meeting with Benfica.
Hansi Flick’s troops are of course locked in action on the continent at present.
After a disappointing weekend stalemate with Getafe, the Blaugrana have shifted focus back towards Europe, eyeing a return to winning ways in a Champions League showdown with Portuguese heavyweights Benfica.
The aforementioned Robert Lewandowski for his part featured from the off in the clash, in his customary berth at centre-forward.
And the Pole has since gone on to find the net, too.
After a VAR check culminated in Barcelona being awarded a penalty early on in Lisbon, Lewandowski stood up to slot home in confident fashion.
And, in the process, the veteran frontman surpassed his goalscoring tally for the whole of last season.
After finding the net 26 times over the course of the 2023/24 campaign, Lewandowski has now notched one more goal this time round.
Turning attentions back towards the scoreline at the Estádio da Luz, Barca currently find themselves in a 3-1 hole, owing to a pair of mistakes on the part of Wojciech Szczęsny.
