His best stats are against Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. He has scored three goals and given two assists in just two games against the Blues. And he scored a brace in the only game he ever played against Spurs.

The only English side that he failed to score against was Liverpool.

One goal in Europa League

Lewandowski has played 12 games in the Europa League, six for Lech Poznan and six for Dortmund. He has never progressed beyond the round of 32, for Lech Poznan were eliminated at this stage by Udinese and Dortmund failed to get out of a group that also included Sevilla, PSG and Karpaty Lviv.
