Robert Lewandowski’s reunion with Bayern Munich always promised to be a special occasion.
The man who led the Bavarians’ front line for eight years lined up against them for the first time since joining Barcelona.
And Lewandowski wasted little time in providing his former employers a reminder of his qualities in Wednesday’s clash at Montjuïc.
The Poland international followed the ball home after a defensive mix-up by the visitors allowed FermÃn López to slot past Manuel Neuer.
Players who scored against the most teams in Champions League:
40 Messi
38 Cristiano
36 LEWANDOWSKI (had never scored against Bayern)
34 Benzema— MisterChip (English) (@MisterChiping) October 23, 2024
In doing so, Lewandowski claimed his 36th different opponent in the Champions League with Bayern joining a growing list of victims.
Written in the stars, you might say.
