Poland striker Lewandowski sets new  Champions League record 

Polish star and Barcelona's Spanish striker, Robert Lewandowski, achieved new records after scoring a goal in Barcelona's five-count, against Royal Antwerp of Belgium, in the Champions’ League group stage. Robert Lewandowski became the third player in history to reach 100 goals in UEFA competitions by scoring against Antwerp on Tuesday night. The Barcelona striker has followed in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo [145 goals] and Lionel Messi [132 goals] after banging in against the Belgian side. Lewandowski achieved the feat in his 139th European fixture - scoring Barca's second in their 5-0 romp over Antwerp in their Champions League group stage opener. To break the 35-year-old's goals down, he found the back of the net on six occasions for Lech Poznan. He then banged in 18 goals for Borussia Dortmund before firing in 69 times for Bayern Munich, with his last seven strikes coming for the Blaugrana. In total, 92 of Lewandowski's goals have come in Europe's premier competition, with two coming in the Europa League and three in the UEFA Cup.
