Robert Lewandowski was the top scorer in La Liga with 23 goals last season. Thanks to this, the Pole went down in history, breaking the records of Lionel Messi and Jean-Pierre Papin. Nobody before him did the same.
The La Liga season that ended last Sunday was a very successful one for Robert Lewandowski. The debut season of the Pole in Barcelona was fruitful not only in the team, but also individually. The crown of league scorers, as well as the championship and the Spanish Super Cup - these are the achievements that the captain of the Polish national team managed to take possession of this club season. This is not the only achievement he has achieved. We recently wrote that the Pole could break the record of Messi and Papen. He did just that.
Robert Lewandowski broke the record of Lionel Messi and Jean-Pierre Papin
One of the few things that Robert Lewandowski can regret during the previous campaign was a short and fruitless European adventure. Despite the fact that the Blue Garnet were eliminated from the Champions League already at the group stage, the Pole still managed to score five times into the net, including a hat-trick with Viktoria Pilzno. He fared much better in La Liga, where at the start of the 2022/23 season he looked like he had been playing there for several years and scoring goal after goal, quickly taking the lead in the top scorers standings.
And so he remained until the very end, and thus managed to surpass Lionel Messi and Jean-Pierre Papin in the number of top scorers won in a row. The Argentinean and the Frenchman did it five times each, and Robert Lewandowski did it the sixth. Papin was the best scorer of the Marseille Olympique in the seasons: 1987/1988, 1988/1989, 1989/1990, 1990/1991, 1991/1992, and Messi as a Barcelona player in the years: 2016/2017, 2017/2018. , 2018/2019, 2019/2020, 2020/2021. Due to the fact that the Argentine did not win the crown of the top scorer last season, and the Frenchman is retired, nothing threatens the Pole’s track record at the moment. It is worth noting that Kylian Mbappé has also been the Ligue 1 top scorer five times in a row.
