FC Barcelona signed Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich around four seasons ago, at a time when their squad was hardly competitive. However, his arrival, along with a few other players, helped set the club up for future success.
There were concerns regarding the Pole’s signing. Lewandowski was 33 when Barcelona brought him in, and many wondered how long he could continue scoring at the rate he did. Four seasons on, he continues to impress.
Lewandowski’s longevity in the sport is mind-blowing. In the game just before the November international break, [he netted a hat-trick against Celta Vigo](https://semprebarca.com/three-talking-points-as-barcelona-defeat-celta-vigo-4-2-in-la-liga/) to further solidify his importance to Hansi Flick’s team.
Now, according to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20251121/1002573525/lewandowski-12-pasos-historia.html), the Pole is just 12 goals away from joining distinguished company and becoming one of the club’s top 10 goalscorers. There is a very good chance that he reaches that milestone by the end of this season.
The Polish striker currently has 108 goals for the Blaugrana, putting him level with Luis Enrique. Ahead of him are Estanislao Basora with 110 goals, Hristo Stoichkov with 117, and Josep Escolà with 120. Surpassing them would secure his place among the club’s top 10 goalscorers.
If Lewandowski reaches 120 goals, he would be close to Carles Rexach and Patrick Kluivert, who each have 122 goals, and just behind Mariano Martín with 129 goals, and Rivaldo and Samuel Eto’o, who each scored 130 goals.
The legendary top four scorers, led by Lionel Messi with 672 goals, César Rodríguez with 226, Luis Suárez with 195, and László Kubala with 193, remain out of reach, but entering the top 10 would already cement Lewandowski’s legacy as one of Barcelona’s most prolific forwards.
Over his time at Barça, he has averaged a goal every 113 minutes, a rate surpassed among the club’s top hundred scorers only by Lionel Messi, Mariano Martín, and Josep Samitier. This efficiency is comparable to his previous exploits at Bayern Munich, where he found the net every 92 minutes.
This is a testament to his prolific nature in front of the goal. It remains to be seen whether Lewandowski can sustain his scoring form through the course of the season. It is crucial for Barcelona’s success, and we will see how things play out.
