FC Barcelona was proclaimed champion after beating Espanyol 2-4 with the leading role of Robert Lewandowski. The striker reached twenty goals after scoring 2, a figure with which he approaches the Pichichi Trophy and incidentally marks another milestone in his career, since it is the 11th time reaching this figure in the big European leagues.
With this, ‘Lewan’ has matched the records of two historical as Gerd Müller y Jimmy Greaves. The Pole has already broken a good handful of ‘Torpedo’ records in the Bundesliga, and now he has reached the same 11 seasons, surpassing the 20 league goals that the German achieved between 1967 and 1978 for the Bayern. For his part, the British dominated the areas of the First Division from 1958 to 1969 with Chelsea and Tottenham.
According to the figures of BeSoccer Pro, Lewandowski only has two footballers ahead of him to keep the record… or at least equal it. We talk about Leo Messi y Cristiano Ronaldowho accumulate 13 seasons reaching twenty something. In both cases, 2020-21 was his last in these figures: the Argentine was ‘Pichichi’ with Barça (30) before going to PSG and the Portuguese scored 29 with Juventus.
Lewandowski has also managed to overcome the 10 campaigns of Delio Onnisthe top scorer in the history of Ligue 1, and it should be noted that Karim Benzema there is still time to reach the 8th. He has scored 17 goals this season and there are still 4 League games to go and even try to discuss the ‘Pichichi’ with the Barça striker. At the moment he registers 7, as many as Kun Agüero, Luis Suárez, Alan Shearer or Telmo Zarra. In addition, the Frenchman has managed to overcome this barrier in the last 3 courses after Cristiano’s departure from Real Madrid.
Nobody more regular than Lewandowski today
Precisely if we talk about the players more constant at present, Lewandowski also dominates. The one in Warsaw chains 8 seasons over 20 goals in the big leagues, the current best streak already accomplished. If Benzema reaches them, he will be placed with 4 between the ‘9’ Barça and the duo Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, both with 3. Lautaro Martínez scored against Sassuolo this weekend to add his 2nd.
Since Lewandowski began to be a fixture at Borussia Dortmund, his numbers in the League have always been scandalous. In the 2011-12 campaign he scored 22 goals and from there only fell below in 2014-15, when he scored 17 on his Bayern Munich debut. Afterwards he has always been in these numbers, among which the 41 so many of the 2020-21 academic year with which he broke the historical record of the aforementioned Gerd Müller.
If we look back, Messi alone is the player who more seasons in a row It has moved above twenty with the 13 that we mentioned before. Cristiano Ronaldo set his record at 12, while the ‘Torpedo’ made his 10 in a row. Lewandowski empata a Jimmy Greaves with 8 and is now ahead of Gunnar Nordahl (7), striker for Milan in the 1950s, or Ferenc Puskás (6). The perseverance of Hugo Sánchez, Thierry Henry or Kun Agüero with 5 is also admirable.
