'Good to have my name next to Messi and Ronaldo' - Robert Lewandowski beaming after hitting milestone in Barcelona win over Brest

<p>Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski was over the moon following his team's resounding 3-0 win over Brest in the Champions League on Tuesday evening as the evergreen Polish striker struck twice to become <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/100-up-for-robert-lewandowski-barcelona-striker-joins-cristiano-ronaldo-and-lionel-messi-in-exclusive-champions-league-club/bltddeb04323f0a6e4f" target="_self">only the third player in the competition's history to score over 100 goals</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 36-year-old joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in elite company as the only players to have more than 100 goals in the Champions League. </p><p>Lewandowski scored in the 10th minute against the French outfit to bring up a century of goals in Europe's most prestigious club competition, and then made it 101 goals by scoring in stoppage time. However, he is still some way off catching up to Ronaldo and Messi, who have 140 and 129 goals respectively.</p><p>Lewandowski's 101 goals, though, have come in just 125 games, which makes him the player with the best goals-per-game ratio among the trio. He scored 17 goals for Borussia Dortmund, 69 for Bayern Munich, and has 15 for Barcelona. With seven goals, the Barca No. 9 is the leading goal scorer in the ongoing campaign.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the press after the game, Lewandowski said: “Years ago I didn’t think I would reach my 100th goal in the Champions League. It’s good to have your name next to Cristiano and Messi. I’m very happy, I didn’t think I would score this many goals in the Champions League."</p>

WHAT ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI SAID

<p>With the win over Brest, Barcelona climbed to second spot in the Champions League standings. Their next game in the competition is away at Borussia Dortmund on December 11. However, they have a cause for concern domestically, as a loss against Real Sociedad and the draw against Celta Vigo last weekend sees them just four points clear of Real Madrid having played one game more. Flick's troops will face Las Palmas next on Saturday, November 30, in LaLiga.</p>
