Is this 2016 or has Robert Lewandowski reverse aged? Both of these can’t be confirmed but it can be confirmed that Lewandowski is the first player from Europe’s top 5 league to score 40 goals in the 2024/25 season.
Is this 2016 or has Robert Lewandowski reverse aged?
In the time when Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Ousmane Dembele, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and his own teammate Raphinha are in their primes operating at the highest level, still he is the first one to reach this milestone at a “finished” age.
The Polish striker has enjoyed his reunion with Hansi Flick. The last time they were together, the German League was in shambles and this time around Lewa is breaking records for fun.

Lewa is competing in the La liga and the champions league
At 36, when most players retire or head to easier leagues, Lewa is competing in the La liga and the champions league. Not only competing but outscoring the future of football.
The Polish striker is sharp as ever and is keen on winning the Pichichi Award ahead of Mbappe.
Mbappe is still 3 goals behind Lewandowski even though he has had a stellar start to the new year.
Lewandowski’s longevity and consistency defines his hunger for the game and to break records at every stage
Barcelona‘s Robert Lewandowski has also created history and has overtaken Ferenc Puskas to become the first player with most goals in La Liga after turning 36. The iconic record was previously held by the Hungarian icon, who had scored 21 goals after turning 36.
In actuality, we’ve all likely grown so used to Lewandowski’s brilliance over the years that we occasionally take it for granted.
He might have had a poor season last term, but this campaign, Lewandowski has once again shown his goal-scoring attributes and has set new records.

The renowned attacker doesn’t want to slow down anytime soon, as he is currently three goals away from reaching his 100th goal for Barcelona.
