The Polish goal machine, who plays for Barcelona and also captains Poland’s national squad, found the back of the net in the 54th and 57th minutes of the game at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, cementing his lead as the division's top scorer this season.

With his 14 goals so far this season in the Spanish top flight, the 36-year-old Pole comfortably leads the league's scoring chart, well ahead of Villarreal's Ayoze Perez, who has seven goals, and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe, who has six, Polish state news agency PAP reported.

Lewandowski in November took home the Spanish premier league's Pichichi top scorer award for the 2022/2023 season.

The award was presented after the Pole ended his first season with Barcelona in June last year, by winning the Spanish top flight's golden boot.

The Pole has now scored 76 goals for Barça in all competitions.

Lewandowski has previously won seven top scorer awards in the German Bundesliga, where he played for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern.

The Polish marksman in October 2022 won the Gerd Müller Trophy for the best striker of the 2021/2022 season at the France Football Ballon d'Or Awards in Paris.

Meanwhile, Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny is still awaiting his debut for Barcelona after joining the Spanish giants earlier this monthpublic broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
