Has averaged more than a goal every second game with every club he has played for. After starring in Polish football, he moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2010, winning two Bundesliga titles and reaching the Champions League final.

After Bayern won every available trophy to them in 2020, Lewandowski achieved the Best FIFA Men's Player for 2020, with the Ballon d'Or controversially cancelled.
