The 36-year-old netted a first-half penalty to give Barcelona the lead and later added another goal, cementing his place among the Champions League’s elite scorers.
“I’m very content, very happy,” Lewandowski said. “Sometimes I didn’t believe I would reach this impressive figure in the Champions League. Now I’m in good company with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”
