<p>It is widely recognized that scoring goals is the most challenging aspect of football, which is why attacking players often receive the most attention and the highest salaries. Strikers face immense pressure to score consistently over the years, but few have matched the prolific scoring of Robert Lewandowski.</p>
<br>
<p>Since his professional debut in 2007, Lewandowski has netted an impressive 694 goals for both club and country. The Polish international is regarded as one of the greatest goal-scorers in football history, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Recently, he scored a hat-trick during Barcelona’s 4-2 victory over Celta Vigo, contributing to Hansi Flick’s effort to close the gap on Real Madrid. This accomplishment places the 37-year-old among the oldest players ever to score a hat-trick in a top European league.</p>
