La Liga’s leading scorer

Lewandowski extended his lead at the top of La Liga’s goal-scoring charts with a great display against Elche.

SuperSport reported that the Barca attacker scored a brace to take his total this season to 17 goals. He leads Karim Benzema, who has scored 14 goals and Enes Unal, who has scored 13.

Bagging 6 assists

Lewandowski isn’t just in fine form scoring goals, he’s also looking to assist his teammates whenever he can.

He has registered six assists this season and ranks joint-fourth in the league when it comes to assists.

Only Antoine Griezmann (8), Mikel Merino (7), and Rodrygo de Goes (7) have provided more assists in the league this season.

Most goals and assist contributions

Lewa’s 17 goals and six assists also make him the best-performing player when it comes to a goals and assists combination.

The Polish star has 23 while Benzema and Griezmann are both on 17.

Lewandowski's fancy dance moves

As his season statistics prove, Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski is a man of many talents, Sports Brief previously reported.

The Polish striker has often showcased his fancy footwork on the field, and recently did the same on the dance floor.

A TikTok video recently doing the rounds showed Lewandowski showcasing his moves in what appears to be a club.
