The Polish goal machine scored Barcelona's second goal in stoppage time to consolidate the team's eight-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the league standings.

The 34-year-old also added to Sergi Roberto's opener, strongly contributing to Barcelona's seventh consecutive league victory and helping put the side a step nearer the title, news outlets reported.

With his 15 goals in the Spanish La Liga so far this season, Lewandowski leads the table among the division's top scorers.

The 34-year-old in October won the 2022 Gerd Müller Trophy for the best striker of last season at the France Football Ballon d'Or awards in Paris.
