Champions League: Just 30 More Goals – Lewandowski Tipped To Surpass Messi’s Record

Rory Smith, the TNT Sports pundit, has tipped Robert Lewandowski, the Barcelona striker to surpass the club’s legend Lionel Messi’s UEFA League all-time goalscorers list.

Lewandowski is third on the list of players with the most goals in the Champions League competition.

The Poland international recently took his Champions League tally to 99 goals.

He netted two goals in Barcelona’s 5-2 thumping of Crvena Zvezda on Wednesday.

His brace put him at 30 goals shy of Messi’s tally.

Messi is second on the Champions League all-time scorers list with 129 goals and his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo is top of the chart with 140 goals.

“It’s not impossible that he catches Messi. 30 more goals. Two more years. 15 a season,” Smith said (via EuroSport).

“He’s quite old, but he famously eats his pudding before his main course. He will be going!”
