In Poland’s match against Lithuania, Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal, securing the victory for his team. This goal also helped the Barcelona forward climb the scoring rankings.
The 36-year-old striker netted his 85th goal for the national team in this game, surpassing the legendary Ferenc Puskás to become one of the top scorers in national team history.
Lewandowski now shares seventh place with Ali Mabkhout of the UAE and is only one goal behind Romelu Lukaku, who extended his lead with a goal against Ukraine on Thursday.
In the European rankings, Lewandowski and Lukaku are both vying for second place, with Cristiano Ronaldo holding a commanding lead. Ronaldo remains the top scorer in both Europe and globally, with 135 goals for Portugal.
Lewandowski has previously mentioned that the idea of reaching 100 goals for his national team is an exciting prospect.
