The Polish marksman scored one of his Barcelona side's two goals in its 2-2 draw against Betis on Saturday.

The Polish goal machine, who plays for Barcelona and also captains Poland’s national squad, found the back of the net in the 39th minute of the game.

With his 16 goals from 16 appearances so far this season in the Spanish top flight, the 36-year-old Pole leads the table among the division's top scorers, ahead of teammate Raphinha with 11 goals.

In November last year, Lewandowski 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 79 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.
