With every passing match, Robert Lewandowski continues to prove that he is still one of the very best strikers in Europe. After a rather underwhelming last season, there were concerns at FC Barcelona about the striker position going forward.
But with his performances up to now, the Pole has made it clear that he can still perform at the highest level. In his 14 matches this season, the Pole has already scored 17 goals for Barcelona.
14 of these goals have come in his 11 La Liga appearances. He added another two to his tally of 12 La Liga goals last night, as he scored a brace against Real Madrid. He could have further increased his goal tally on the night, as he had two other big chances that he could not capitalize upon.
As SPORT has reported, with these 14 goals, Lewandowski stands head and shoulders above any of his competitors for the Pichichi trophy.
Following Lewandowski in this list is the Villarreal forward Ayoze Perez, who has 7 goals to his name. The Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, who is expected to be the other big name to compete for the Pichichi this season, stands third in this ranking with 6 goals. The Barcelona forward Raphinha shares the third position with him.
The Frenchman had multiple chances to increase this number last night but was either unable to finish his chances or the chances he finished were chalked off for offside.
Another Real Madrid star, Vinicius Junior stands 5th in the ranking with his five goals, and shares this spot with Giovani Lo Celso and Dodi Lukebakio.
The Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has four goals to his name, and currently stands at the 8th spot. Other forwards like Ante Budimir, Borja Iglesias, Iago Aspas, and Oihan Sancet also have the same number of goals and share the 8th position with him.
