Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has added yet another milestone to his glittering football career, becoming the third-highest goal scorer in the history of Europe’s top five leagues. Lewandowski netted twice during Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Sevilla, bringing his total tally to 366 goals in major European domestic competitions, surpassing the legendary German striker Gerd Müller.

Lewandowski, who joined Barcelona in 2022, has now scored 73 goals for the club, adding to the impressive numbers he racked up during his stints with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. With this achievement, he has now drawn level with Jimmy Greaves, the English forward renowned for his prolific scoring at Tottenham Hotspur, both players sharing the third spot in the all-time rankings.

Lewandowski Surpasses Gerd Müller

Lewandowski’s 366th goal nudged him past the late Gerd Müller, who was previously third with 365 goals. This feat adds to Lewandowski’s already rich history with Müller’s records, as he had broken the German icon’s Bundesliga single-season goal record in 2021 by scoring 41 goals in one season. The continued breaking of records demonstrates Lewandowski’s ability to perform at the highest level well into his mid-30s.

While Lewandowski’s consistency is remarkable, the gap between him and the top two scorers — Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo — is significant. Messi leads with 496 goals, closely followed by Ronaldo’s 495 goals. Both players, like Lewandowski, have dominated European football for over a decade.

Catching Messi and Ronaldo: A Slim Possibility?

At 36, Lewandowski may find it difficult to match the heights reached by Messi and Ronaldo, but his recent form suggests that reaching the 400-goal mark is within reach if he continues playing at his current pace. Messi achieved his 496 goals in just 577 games, while Ronaldo took 626 matches to hit 495 goals. Comparatively, Lewandowski has shown remarkable efficiency, though his future in European football remains a topic of speculation.

If Lewandowski continues to score consistently, he could solidify his place among Europe’s all-time greats, even if surpassing Messi or Ronaldo may be out of reach. His incredible footballing journey, which started in Poland before moving to Germany’s Bundesliga and now Spain’s La Liga, reflects his adaptability and hunger for success at the highest levels.

A Legacy in the Making

Robert Lewandowski began his career in Poland before moving to Borussia Dortmund in 2010. He became a household name during his time at Bayern Munich, where he won multiple Bundesliga titles and set numerous records, including the most goals in a Bundesliga season. Lewandowski joined Barcelona in 2022 and has continued his stellar form, contributing heavily to the club’s successes in both domestic and European competitions.

Lewandowski’s rise to the upper echelons of European football is testament to his dedication and professionalism. As he continues his career at Barcelona, there is no doubt that his legacy as one of the game’s greatest strikers is already cemented. Whether or not he surpasses the 400-goal barrier, his place in football history is assured.
