Polish striker cements place among club legends as Barça chase La Liga glory
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has written a new chapter in his prolific career, netting his 107th goal for the Catalan giants — officially surpassing Neymar’s record of 105 goals.
The 36-year-old Poland international reached the milestone during Barcelona’s recent La Liga fixture, continuing his remarkable scoring form since joining from Bayern Munich in 2022.
Lewandowski’s strike, a composed finish inside the box, not only sealed three crucial points for Barça but also elevated him into the club’s top ten all-time scorers — a list dominated by icons such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Samuel Eto’o.
From Munich to Camp Nou
Since he arrived at Camp Nou, Lewandowski has been a symbol of consistency and professionalism. Despite joining at the age of 34, he adapted quickly to Spanish football, leading Barça’s attack with the same efficiency that made him a legend in Germany.
He scored 33 goals in his debut 2022–23 season, helping Barcelona reclaim the La Liga title under Xavi Hernández. This term, despite injury setbacks and tactical changes, Lewandowski has remained one of the team’s most reliable scorers.
Surpassing Neymar’s Legacy
By surpassing Neymar’s 105-goal tally, Lewandowski moves ahead of one of Barça’s most celebrated forwards of the modern era. Neymar reached his total in 186 games between 2013 and 2017 before his world-record €222 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Lewandowski, by contrast, achieved 107 goals in fewer matches, highlighting his incredible goal-per-game ratio and his knack for finding the net even during transitional phases for the club.
Eyes on Further Records
With his latest milestone, Lewandowski now trails closely behind Eto’o (130 goals) and Rivaldo (130) in the Barcelona record books. If he maintains his form throughout the current campaign, the Polish striker could overtake both before the end of the season.
Barcelona’s coaching staff have praised his impact not just for his finishing but for mentoring the younger talents coming through the system, including Lamine Yamal and Fermin López, who have benefited from training alongside him.
“Numbers Are Not Everything”
Speaking after the match, Lewandowski said he remains focused on collective goals rather than personal records.
“I’m proud to contribute to this great club, but numbers are not everything. I play to help the team win titles,” he said.
“Barcelona has a bright future, and I’m happy to be part of it.”
Veteran Still Leading by Example
Now in his third season with Barça, Lewandowski’s leadership on and off the field continues to be pivotal as the club rebuilds financially and strategically. His professionalism, discipline, and scoring instinct have earned him respect across La Liga and beyond.
As Barcelona prepare for a challenging run of fixtures in both La Liga and the Champions League, Lewandowski’s goals remain vital to their ambitions. His 107th strike stands as proof that even in the twilight of his career, the Polish talisman continues to deliver at the highest level.
