Robert Lewandowski is proving that age cannot stop him from continuing to conquer records. |
At 36 years old, Robert Lewandowski is still a fearsome penalty box killer, showing no signs of aging. In the 2024/25 season, he will continue to be an important explosive force for Barcelona, shouldering the responsibility of conquering noble titles: conquering the La Liga throne, bringing home the Copa del Rey trophy and rewriting Champions League history.
Lewandowski recently continued to amaze fans with a brace in the match against Girona in round 29 of La Liga on March 30, bringing his total number of goals in La Liga to 25. In all competitions, the former Bayern Munich star's total number of goals reached 38 and is 97 since joining Barcelona. These numbers are truly impressive, but if you look at the historical context, his achievements become even more astonishing.
Since joining Barca, Lewandowski has surpassed many of the club's legendary goalscorers, including Romario and Samuel Eto'o. Romario, aged 32, scored 32 goals in 47 games for Barcelona in the 1993/94 season. Eto'o, then 28, scored 36 goals in the 2008/09 season - the legendary season that helped Barca win their first treble.
Meanwhile, Lewandowski scored 38 goals in 42 matches in the 2024/25 season and still has a chance to improve his record as Barcelona can participate in at least 12 more matches if they go deep in the Copa del Rey and Champions League.
Lewandowski is just two goals away from becoming only the sixth player in Barcelona's history to score 40 goals in a season. Legendaries such as Messi (10 times), Luis Suarez (59 in 2015/16), Ronaldo (47 in 1996/97), Mariano Martin (42 in 1942/43) and Josep Escola (41 in 1935/36) have all reached the milestone.
While Ronaldo - the Brazilian "Phenomenon" - scored 47 goals in 49 games at the age of 19, Lewandowski, despite being almost twice his age and playing in a more physical style of sport, still maintained an impressive performance of 38 goals in 42 games. His achievement is truly a remarkable feat.
With his top form and consecutive records set, Lewandowski is not only an important part of Barcelona but also a symbol of perseverance and timeless talent. |
In the race for the Golden Boot, Lewandowski is up against Mohamed Salah, who is also in impressive form. It will be a challenge.
Salah still has nine Premier League games left and is not involved in other competitions. If he wins the Golden Boot this time, Lewandowski will become the oldest player to win the award for the third time, at 36 years, 9 months and 4 days.
At 36, Lewandowski is now the second-oldest goalscorer in Barcelona's history, behind only Dani Alves, who scored at 38 years and 9 months. Meanwhile, the legendary Juanito Segarra, who also had an impressive record at Barca, last scored at 36 years, 5 months and 10 days.
With his top form and consecutive records set, Lewandowski is not only an important part of Barcelona but also a symbol of perseverance and timeless talent.
