Robert Lewandowski, the Polish striker for FC Barcelona, has etched his name in Champions League history, joining an elite club of goalscorers. This week, the 37-year-old became only the fourth player to score 20 or more Champions League goals for two different clubs. This remarkable feat places him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, and Neymar.
Lewandowski achieved this milestone following his goal in Barcelona's recent 4-2 victory over Slavia Prague. While he also scored an own goal during the match, his contribution to the team's success was undeniable. This goal marked his 20th in 33 appearances for Barcelona in the competition. Previously, he had scored 69 Champions League goals for Bayern Munich and 18 for Borussia Dortmund.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Champions League's all-time leading scorer, reached the 20-goal mark for both Manchester United and Real Madrid. Harry Kane accomplished the same for Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich. Neymar, before his move to Saudi Arabia, had scored over 20 goals for both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Lewandowski's achievement underscores his consistent goalscoring ability and his impact at the highest level of European football. Scoring 20 Champions League goals for multiple clubs demonstrates individual talent and the ability to perform under pressure. His goal against Slavia Prague marked his 15th consecutive season scoring in the Champions League.
Since joining Barcelona, Lewandowski has been a key attacking force. In his first season, he scored 23 league goals and won the Pichichi Trophy as La Liga's top scorer. In the 2023/24 season, he continued his form with 26 goals in all competitions. In the current 2025/26 season, Lewandowski has already scored 9 goals in 15 La Liga appearances. Overall, he has 78 goals and 18 assists in 118 appearances for Barcelona.
Hansi Flick, now the coach for Barcelona, has given Lewandowski a key role in the team, where he shines as a scorer and a leader. Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona is set to expire, and potential moves to MLS clubs or Saudi teams have been mentioned. Despite his age, he remains a lethal finisher.
Lewandowski's career includes numerous individual awards, including being named 'The Best' twice, in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, he received the Gerd Müller Award for scoring the most goals for club and country. He has also been the Bundesliga's top goalscorer on multiple occasions. With over 700 senior career goals for club and country, Lewandowski is considered one of the greatest strikers of all time. He is only one of five players to have scored 100 goals with three different clubs.
