Lewandowski Set New Champions League Record As He Scores 4 Goals in 14 Minutes

Polish striker Robert Lewandoski has handed a goal scoring streak that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are yet to accomplish as he scored a record goal of 4 in 14 minutes against Red Star on Tuesday.

Lewandowski’s goal is the fastest Champions League quadruple in history, bagging four goals in just 14 minutes and 31 seconds as Bayern ran riot to secure a 6-0 win.

Lewandoski, 31, has been one of Europe’s most prolific goal scorers in the last decade, though perhaps his exploits have been slightly overshadowed by Messi and Ronaldo’s records.

The Striker has already netted 31 goals in the season; 10 goals in just five Champions League matches, 17 in 15 Bundesliga matches and four in six for Poland.mn

Lewandowski’s performance in Belgrade takes his goal tally for the year to 51 and means he becomes the second player in Champions League history after Messi to score four goals in a game on more than one occasion.

His four goals on Tuesday see him become Bayern Munich’s all-time record goal scorer in the Champions League with 46 goals, while also bagging his third hat-trick of the season.
