Robert Lewandowski scored his 20th La Liga goal of the season on Monday, joining a limited club of players at Barcelona. The Poland international made sure Barca won all three points by scoring the game's lone goal from the penalty spot against Rayo Vallecano.

Lewandowski is one of just four players in the past 15 years to hit 20 goals at this stage of the season, having already done so in just 23 league games for Barcelona. It should come as no surprise that Lionel Messi was the last to do this in 2019–20, but only Luis Suarez and Samuel Eto’o have accomplished it before. Lewandowski’s goal also means he remains on course to win the Pichichi trophy for the second time in his career. The veteran striker leads the goalscoring standings in Spain by thee goals from nearest challenger Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid.
