Stat alert: Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski vs Mbappé, Vinícius & Rodrygo | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic, highlighting the extent of the stellar run of form being enjoyed by Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski to open the campaign, has come to the fore online this evening.

Lewandowski is for his part of course fresh off an outing to remember.

Afforded a starting berth in Barcelona’s La Liga meeting with Deportivo Alavés, the veteran frontman went on to bag all three of his side’s goals, in a 3-0 triumph.

As much took Lewandowski’s tally for the season in all competitions to 12 goals, including 10 in La Liga.

Nine such goals in the Spanish top-flight have come from open play, a figure which has given rise to the most remarkable of stats.

As revealed by StatMuse, with nine games of the La Liga season on the board, Lewandowski has managed to rack up the same number of non-penalty goals as Real Madrid quartet Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde combined.
