[ad_1]

FC Barcelona made a statement 5-1 win yesterday against FC Viktoria Plzen to go top of the UEFA Champions League group C with three points and a goal difference of four,as they started off their European campaign on the right foot.

Still undefeated in LaLiga Santander and now winning their Champions League games with relative ease,it is safe to assume that Xavi Hernandez who is FC Barcelona’s head coach will be gunning for both trophies this season,as he stated in a pre-match conference yesterday.

In FC Barcelona’s 5-1 win at Spotify Camp Nou,the club’s striker signing Robert Lewandowski netted a hat-trick to become the highest goal scorer in the Champions League this season, having just played a single game.

Robert Lewandowski’s hat-trick against FC Viktoria Plzen at Spotify Camp Nou also means that the Polish striker has now scored a hat-trick for three different teams in the UEFA Champions League; Borussia Dortmund,FC Bayern Munich and now FC Barcelona.

The 34 year old number 9 also has a goal contribution of 108 goals in a little over 107 games that he has played in the prestigious competition,as he continues to net more goals.

What was more,he was awarded the match ball and given the man of the match award after the game yesterday for his top performance against FC Viktoria Plzen,and for scoring the first hat-trick of this season’s Champions League campaign.

Robert Lewandowski’s hat-trick yesterday placed him amongst the top players with the most goals in the history of the Champions League,as he moved ahead of Karim Benzema who was injured against Celtic FC on Tuesday.

Here are the top five highest goal scorers in the history of the Champions League as Robert Lewandowski nets three to move into top three;

1. Cristiano Ronaldo; 141 goals

2. Lionel Messi; 125 goals

3. Robert Lewandowski; 89 goals

4. Karim Benzema; 86 goals

5. Raul Gonzalez; 71 goals

Do you think Robert Lewandowski will be able to make it all the way to the first spot given his scoring prowess,and for the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is not playing in the competition this season?
