Robert Lewandowski equals Lionel Messi with latest Barcelona goal | OneFootball

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski’s latest goal on Saturday saw the Polish international match an altogether noteworthy club benchmark.

Barca, of course, are currently locked in action in Catalunya’s capital.

Fresh off a perfect start to the campaign, by way of three wins from three, Hansi Flick’s troops welcomed Real Valladolid to Montjuïc, for a La Liga clash.

And, as things stand late in proceedings, another three-point haul is precisely what the Blaugrana are headed towards.

This comes owing to a rampant display, which sees Barcelona, at present, in possession of a four-goal advantage.

Amongst the scorers, unsurprisingly, was Robert Lewandowski, who, picked out courtesy of an inch-perfect pass on the part of Lamine Yamal, made no mistake with a near-post finish on the 24-minute mark.

This took the former Bayern Munich man’s tally to four goals, amid what has proven a hugely productive opening to the term.

Not only that, but, as alluded to above, it saw Lewandowski secure for himself a piece of recent history.

As revealed by statisticians Opta, the 36-year-old is the first Barcelona player since Lionel Messi in 2018/19 to find the net four times in the club’s first four outings of a La Liga season:
