Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has once again etched his name in UEFA Champions League history by scoring against 40 different teams, matching the record previously set by Lionel Messi.
Barcelona defeated Copenhagen 4-1 to secure a place in the round of 16, with Lewandowski scoring the equalizer in the 48th minute, making Copenhagen the 40th team he has scored against in the competition. This achievement reinforces his status as one of the most consistent and complete scorers in European football.
The Polish striker reached this milestone while representing several top European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and now Barcelona, joining Messi at the top of the list of players who have scored against the most different teams in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo follows with goals against 38 different clubs. These statistics highlight not only Lewandowski’s scoring talent but also his sustained presence and impact in Europe’s elite competition over many years.
Lamín Gamal Breaks Mbappé’s Record and Shines in Europe
Meanwhile, Barcelona talent Lamín Gamal continues to make history in European football, becoming the youngest player to score eight goals in the UEFA Champions League, surpassing Kylian Mbappé’s previous record.
Gamal scored Barcelona’s opening goal against Copenhagen, bringing his total to eight goals at the age of 18 years and 199 days, compared to Mbappé, who reached the same tally at 18 years and 302 days in October 2017.
European media, including Marca, note that this record underscores Gamal’s early influence at the top level, establishing him as one of the most promising talents of the last decade. The young Spanish winger is not only a rising star but also a proven performer on the biggest stages, with his ability to decide individual moments, his maturity in decision-making, and his strong personality allowing him to leave a tangible mark in the Champions League before turning nineteen.
