FC Barcelona kicked off their Champions League campaign in impressive fashion, with Robert Lewandowski playing a pivotal role in their 4-0 victory over BSC Young Boys. Lewandowski opened the scoring just eight minutes into the game, capitalizing on a precise pass from Raphinha to score from close range.
In the second half, Lewandowski struck again, exploiting chaos in the penalty area to score his second goal of the match and extend Barcelona's lead to 4-0. These goals marked his 95th and 96th Champions League goals, solidifying his third place in the all-time scoring list.
Closing in on a Historic Milestone
Lewandowski is now just four goals shy of the magical 100-goal mark in the Champions League, a feat achieved only by Cristiano Ronaldo (140 goals) and Leo Messi (129 goals). If he maintains his current form, he is poised to join this elite group soon.
