Robert Lewandowski has reached another historic milestone, scoring his 109th UEFA Champions League goal in the 2025/26 campaign, as he has netted a brace against Newcastle United.

The Polish striker netted this landmark strike for Barcelona, further cementing his status as one of Europe's deadliest finishers. With his impeccable positioning, clinical finishing, and relentless work rate, Lewandowski has climbed to third on the all-time list, trailing only the two modern greats.

This achievement highlights his consistency across Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and now Barcelona, where he continues to deliver in the competition's biggest moments. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the only players ahead of the Polish in the list.

Cristiano Ronaldo (141 goals): The undisputed king of the Champions League, Ronaldo's record spans Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. His explosive athleticism, aerial dominance, lethal penalties, and long-range screamers have produced an astonishing tally. A five-time winner, he holds the single-season record (17 goals) and remains the benchmark for longevity and big-game brilliance.

Lionel Messi (129 goals): Almost exclusively with Barcelona (plus a stint at PSG), Messi's genius shines through dribbling wizardry, precise finishing, and visionary playmaking. Four titles and multiple hat-tricks reflect his ability to dismantle defenses single-handedly, turning matches with moments of pure magic.

Robert Lewandowski (109 goals): The prolific Pole's journey from Dortmund's counter-attacking force to Bayern's goal machine and Barcelona's focal point showcases elite adaptability. Renowned for poacher's instincts, powerful headers, and composure under pressure, his century-plus tally includes multiple Golden Boots and a record-equaling five goals in one game.

Lewandowski, Messi and Ronaldo are the only three players to have score more than a century goals in the continental competition.
