Robert Lewandowski scored his 100th Champions League goal as Barcelona took on Brest on Tuesday night.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the Poland international’s record.

Lewandowski’s century

– Lewandowski’s best Champions League season came with Bayern Munich in 2019-20, when he won the Golden Boot with 15 goals in 10 games.

– That is one of three times he has hit double figures in the competition, also scoring 13 times for Bayern in 2021-22 and 10 for Borussia Dortmund in 2012-13.

– He has scored in 14 consecutive Champions League seasons dating back to 2011-12, when he opened his account in Dortmund’s 3-1 defeat to Olympiakos.

– Six goals in Barca’s first five European games this season, including doubles against Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade, brought up three figures.

– Lewandowski is only the third player to reach a Champions League century, joining the unsurprising names of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

– Ronaldo’s 141 goals and 187 appearances are both Champions League records, with Messi scoring 129 in 163.

– Lewandowski took 126 games to bring up his century, three more than Messi but 11 quicker than Ronaldo.

– Lewandowski has the best goals per game record of any player with 50 or more Champions League goals at 0.794, marginally ahead of Messi at the third decimal place.

– He has more Champions League goals than fellow attackers Thomas Muller, Karim Benzema, Raul and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who are all ahead of him in terms of career appearances in the competition.
