Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski has overtaken Ferenc Puskas to become the player with the most goals in La Liga after turning 36. The record was previously held by the Hungarian football icon, who scored 21 goals after turning 36.
The former Bayern Munich attacker scored two goals against Girona and helped La Blaugrana secure a crucial 4-1 victory on Sunday, March 30. The scores were tied 1-1 when Robert Lewandowski scored his first goal in the 61st minute, courtesy of Fermin Lopez's assist.
The Polish forward later made the score 3-1 after slipping the ball into Girona's net (77'). Ferran Torres sealed the victory with an 86th-minute strike as La Blaugrana leapfrogged Real Madrid in the points table. Before the match, Lewandowski had 20 goals in Spanish top-tier football after turning 36.
