Robert Lewandowski maintained his impressive scoring streak by netting two goals, leading Barcelona to a dominant victory over Red Star Belgrade and securing their third straight win in the Champions League.
At 36 years old, Lewandowski has now scored 19 goals in 16 matches across all competitions, putting him just one goal shy of becoming the third player ever to achieve 100 Champions League goals.
His first goal came just before halftime, capitalizing on a rebound from Raphinha's shot that hit the post, which helped Barcelona regain the lead after Inigo Martinez's header in the 13th minute had been equalized by Silas Katompa Mvumpa's unexpected goal.
