The Polish marksman scored his Barcelona side's only goal in its 1-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish top flight on Wednesday night.

The Polish goal machine, who plays for Barcelona and also captains Poland’s national squad, found the back of the net in the 83rd minute of the game.

With his 18 goals in the Spanish La Liga so far this season, the 34-year-old Pole leads the table among the division's top scorers, ahead of Real Madrid's Karim Benzema with 14 goals.

Despite losing to Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona maintained their 11-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings, news outlets reported.

Lewandowski 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.
