Lewandowski near-perfect UCL penalty record continues against Benfica 👏
Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored more Champions League goals than Robert Lewandowski, who hit his 102nd goal in the competition tonight, for Barcelona against Benfica.
His penalty strike continued a simply incredible record for the Polish legend from the spot.
Of any player to take over six efforts from 12 yards, no one has a better conversion rate than the 36-year-old, who has missed just one of his 19 efforts.
His strike also made it 30 goal contributions (27 goals, three assists) for the season so far.
He might need to further add to that tally, with Hansi Flick’s side trailing 3-1 in Lisbon after a mostly-calamitous first-half.
What are the odds he can bag another from the spot? Well, Barça will need him to step up as they find themselves 3-1 down in Lisbon.
