Lewandowski makes history at Barcelona

The winning header against Real Sociedad not only helped Barcelona clinch the win and reclaim first place in La Liga, but also elevated Robert Lewandowski to the 16th spot in the club’s historical goal-scoring rankings.

In a tense match at Lluis Companys Stadium, Barcelona were unexpectedly taken the lead early by Real Sociedad. Jules Kounde equalized with a powerful header just before halftime, helping Hansi Flick’s team maintain a streak of 44 consecutive matches scoring across all competitions – a record previously set from 1942 to 1944. With this goal, Barcelona officially matched a milestone that had stood for over 81 years.

As the second half began, Lewandowski became the decisive factor. From a precise pass by young talent Lamine Yamal, the Polish striker positioned himself cleverly and delivered a close-range header to make it 2-1. This goal not only secured the win for Barca, pushing them ahead of Real Madrid to the league summit, but also marked a special milestone in Lewandowski’s career.

Statistics show this was Lewandowski’s 105th goal for Barcelona after 153 matches. This achievement places him firmly in 16th place among the club’s greatest scorers, alongside Luis Enrique who scored 73 goals in La Liga. In only three seasons, Lewandowski has proven himself as a world-class striker and solidified his influence at Blaugrana.

Since joining Barcelona in 2022, Lewandowski quickly became the leader of the attack. At 37 years old, he continues to show consistency and composure in big matches. Beyond scoring, the Polish forward serves as a role model for professionalism, fighting spirit, and inspiration for younger teammates.

Under Hansi Flick’s guidance, the blend of Lewandowski’s experience and the youth of players like Lamine Yamal is shaping a promising Barcelona. With 105 goals scored, Lewandowski still has opportunities to improve his record and approach the top 10 legendary scorers in the club’s history.

Currently, Lewandowski is not only a key player helping Barca chase titles but is also gradually building a rightful place in the legendary hall at Camp Nou. Each goal he scores does more than affect the result; it engraves his name into the glorious history of the Catalan giants.
