Europe's 2020/21 top scorer: Lewandowski takes the crown

Robert Lewandowski has finished as the top scorer in Europe's leading domestic leagues after racking up a staggering 41 Bundesliga goals for Bayern München in 2020/21.

The Poland captain, who now turns his sights to UEFA EURO 2020, rounded off his tally with a goal for Bayern in their final league game against Augsburg on 22 May. That took him past Gerd Müller's previous Bundesliga season record of 40 and also left him 11 goals clear of the next-highest scorer in the top domestic competitions: Lionel Messi.

All that remained to be decided was the identity of the leading marksman in the major European club competitions. Erling Haaland had set the pace with ten UEFA Champions League goals in 2020/21, and took the honours once Bruno Fernandes was unable to add to his nine strikes for Manchester United across both UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League in the final of the latter competition.
