Overview
- Barcelona beat Slavia Prague 4-2 in the Champions League, with Robert Lewandowski scoring an own goal before netting for Barça to surpass 20 UCL goals for the club.
- By hitting that mark, he joined Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane and Neymar as players with 20-plus Champions League goals for two different teams, and he has now scored in 15 consecutive UCL seasons.
- Lewandowski’s contract runs through June 2026, and reporting in Spain says Barcelona would only extend it if he accepts a secondary role and a wage cut of roughly half his current €26 million salary.
- The 37-year-old has shared starts with Ferran Torres this season but remains productive, and he has said he still has time to decide his future and that it is not about halving his pay.
- Journalist reports say he has strong MLS offers, with additional interest from Saudi Pro League and European clubs, while Barcelona are linked with potential successors including a high-priced Argentine target and options such as Serhou Guirassy or Dusan Vlahovic.
