Robert Lewandowski achieved an exclusive milestone with Barcelona, matching Lionel Messi's record by scoring 16 goals in his first 16 La Liga matches. The Polish striker netted the opener against Real Betis in a 2-2 draw, where Barcelona conceded a late equalizer. Despite the disappointing outcome, Lewandowski’s exceptional form this season is evident, with 16 league goals and seven Champions League goals in just five matches.
His scoring streak included standout performances in October, featuring a hat-trick against Alaves and consecutive braces against Sevilla and Real Madrid. This feat mirrors Messi’s remarkable run during the 2018/19 season, where he scored 36 league goals and over 50 in all competitions. The question remains whether Barcelona can emulate or surpass their 18/19 campaign, which included a La Liga triumph and a deep Champions League run.
Next, Barcelona faces Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, a pivotal clash for their European aspirations. Following that, they take on Leganes in La Liga, aiming to regain winning momentum.
