Robert Lewandowski continues to etch his name into Barcelona’s rich footballing history. The Polish striker delivered another vintage display at Estadio Balaídos, scoring twice in a thrilling 4-2 win over Celta Vigo to surpass club legend Neymar on the all-time scoring charts.
With his brace, Lewandowski’s tally for the Blaugrana rose to an astounding 107 goals, eclipsing Neymar’s total of 105. The feat not only highlights the forward’s enduring brilliance but also cements his place among Barcelona’s most prolific scorers in the modern era.
A record-breaking night for Robert Lewandowski
Having been restored to the starting XI after a brief rest, Lewandowski wasted no time reminding fans of his clinical edge. Within the first half, he found the net twice, leading Barcelona’s charge in what turned out to be a chaotic and high-tempo contest against a resilient Celta Vigo side.
His first goal came from the penalty spot after Fermin Lopez’s strike was handled in the area by Marcos Alonso. The veteran striker made no mistake, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to give his side an early lead.
Celta Vigo, however, were not willing to sit back. They equalized through Sergio Carreira, forcing Barcelona to stay sharp. Robert Lewandowski’s response was swift. In the 37th minute, a beautifully delivered cross from Marcus Rashford found the Pole perfectly positioned inside the box, and with one touch, he fired home his second of the night.
The double not only restored Barcelona’s advantage but also saw Lewandowski surpass Neymar’s record — a milestone that further underlines his impact since joining the Catalan giants.
Barcelona’s star man still dominant
Despite his age, Lewandowski’s performances have shown no signs of decline. His movement, composure, and finishing instinct remain world-class, and his presence continues to inspire a new generation of Barcelona talent, including Lamine Yamal, who added the fourth goal in what became a statement victory for Hansi Flick’s men.
The forward’s leadership has also proven vital in guiding the team through transitional phases, particularly after the departures of senior figures like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. With the title race intensifying, Robert Lewandowski’s form could play a defining role as Barcelona close in on league leaders Real Madrid.
Lewandowski’s achievement is more than a personal milestone — it’s a testament to his consistency and professionalism. Since arriving at Camp Nou, he has been the backbone of Barcelona’s attack, delivering crucial goals in both domestic and European competitions.
