Although he left Germany this summer after more than a decade in the Bundesliga, Robert Lewandowski has shown that he has no problem adapting to Spanish football.
In the first six appearances for Barcelona, he already scored eight goals, and he crowned his excellent form tonight with his first hat-trick in the shirt of the Catalan club. The Pole already has 89 goals in the Champions League, but today’s match will also be remembered for another historical fact.
He became the first player in history to score at least one hat-trick for three different teams in the elite European competition. He did it as a player for Borussia Dortmund, then in Bayern and today in Barcelona. Even the top scorer in the history of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo, could not do such a thing even though he played in it as a member of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
