TNT Sports analyst, Rory Smith has tipped Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski to overtake 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 improved his Champions League tally to 99 goals.
He netted two goals in Barcelona’s 5-2 beating 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 scoring list with 129 goals and his eternal adversary Cristiano Ronaldo is top of the leaderboard 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!”
