Robert Lewandowski scored his 100th and 101st goals in the Champions League against Brest. This makes the Pole the third professional to break the hundred mark in the top flight. But which goalscorer actually has the best goal tally?

Star striker Robert Lewandowski has fired FC Barcelona to their fourth Champions League victory and himself into an elite club. The former Bayern and BVB attacker put the Catalans 3-0 ahead against Stade Brest with a penalty. It was the Pole's 100th goal in the top flight. Only Lionel Messi (129) and Cristiano Ronaldo (140) have reached this mark before him. Dani Olmo added the second, and then it was Lewandowski himself who scored the final goal.

"Lewandowski is incredible," enthused Barça coach Hansi Flick. The 36-year-old's performances are indeed outstanding. If you look at his goal rate, he is even better than Messi and CR7. Lewandowski has an average of 0.8 goals per game (101 goals in 125 games) - just ahead of Messi (0.79) and CR7 (0.76).

Haaland leaves everyone behind

Manchester City, in crisis, managed to let a 3-0 lead slip away at home against Feyenoord. Erling Haaland's brace was almost lost in the gloating over the English champions' performance. The Norwegian scored his 45th and 46th goals in the top flight - in just 44 games. The 24-year-old continued to raise his incredible average and now stands at 1.04 goals per game.

This makes even Kylian Mbappé look old. The Frenchman has scored 49 times in 77 games on the European stage so far, giving him an average of 0.63.

Below is the list of attackers with the best odds (rounded):
