Copenhagen became the 40th different Champions League team Robert Lewandowski has scored against, allowing him to equal Lionel Messi as one of the competition's most prolific strikers.
Robert Lewandowski netted the equaliser against Copenhagen, but wasted no time celebrating. He quickly retrieved the ball, eager for a comeback. Unbeknownst to him at the time, he had just written another legendary chapter in the Champions League, equalling Lionel Messi as the competition's most prolific tormentor in history.
The Danish side became his 40th victim in the tournament since he scored his first goal against Olympiacos in 2011. Until Wednesday, the Argentine maestro stood alone at the summit of this achievement. This now sets the stage for the Pole to surpass him and claim this distinction outright.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the other scoring benchmark in the tournament's history, finished with 38 different victims.
