Robert Lewandowski has set a new goal-scoring record at Barcelona as boss Xavi Hernandez has confessed “surprise” at the striker’s humility.
Lewandowski netted twice in Saturday’s three-goal win over lowly Elche at the Camp Nou, bringing his tally at his new club up to 11 goals in just eight appearances. The Poland international is averaging a goal every 57 minutes for Barca with his instincts in the box proving decisive.
The striker's transfer to Barcelona from Bayern Munich was completed earlier this summer in what was the most eye-catching arrival of a busy transfer window at the Camp Nou, as the Catalan giants transformed their squad.
