FC Barcelona is really putting on a show in the second leg of the Round of 16 against Newcastle United. The Catalans are leading 7-2 after nearly 75 minutes played and could start planning for the quarterfinals.
Once again, Robert Lewandowski is significantly contributing to the high lead. The Pole scored the fifth and sixth goals for the Catalans (56th, 61st minute) and casually snatched a CL record from club legend Lionel Messi.
As of today, Lewy is the first player to score against 41 teams in the Champions League. Incidentally, Newcastle is the fifth Premier League team to concede a goal from the striker. Wait, another record was set.

With these goals, Lewy, at 37 years and 209 days old, is now also the oldest scorer ever to score twice in the CL knockout phase. There’s only one thing to say: World-class.
