PSG, fond memories for Robert Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski has struck some fine form in 2024, scoring 11 goals across all competitions, and after having a potential 12th cancelled out by VAR against Las Palmas, his next challenge is the Champions League clash with PSG. He knows all about the Parisians, having faced them twice with Borussia Dortmund and three times with Bayern Munich.

He only scored in one of those games, Bayern's 3-1 win in the 2017/18 group stage, but PSG is a team that will always have a place in the Polish striker's heart. It was against them that he won what is to date his only Champions League title in that Covid-affected final in Lisbon in 2020.

Double break

After scoring in both games in the previous round against Napoli, Lewandowski is now hoping to make it three in a row. It would be the second time he has done that, for in 2020 when in the Bayern jersey he scored two against Chelsea, then netted against bar¡a and after that Lyon.

And he'll be especially fresh for the games with PSG. Barça have a week off before the first leg due to the Copa del Rey Final being played this weekend, and the weekend after he will be suspended and therefore unavailable to play against Cadiz.
