Robert Lewandowski Sets Challenging Record Following 101 Barcelona Goals

He overtook the legendary striker Ferenc Puskas, who in 1963 scored 26 goals in a La Liga season when he was 36 years old. The Hungarian striker played for Real Madrid and is considered one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. 

Lewandowski's brace was not enough to earn him the La Liga Golden Boot, as he was four off from the winner, Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe. The French striker officially won the Pichichi trophy by scoring 31 league goals; he also won the European Golden Boot.
