The goals of Robert Lewandowski will be vital for the La Liga title of Barcelona in the coming months.
The Polish International scored the fourth goal in Barcelona's 4-0 weekend course of 10-man Real Sociedad when the Catalan top position in the table was recovered.
The weekend ends with the Hansi Flick team, one point for second place Atletico Madrid and three above Real Madrid in third place.
The goal of Lewandowski brings him this season to 21 in League Action and 34 spread over all competitions.
That second digit is particularly striking because it is a new benchmark for him as a Barcelona player.
The 36-year-old delivered 23 league goals in his debut campaign, when Barcelona La Liga won in 2022/23 and he generally managed 33.
That total count has now been taken with 12 league games to be as an incredible show of consistency of Lewandowski despite his age.
His age-rating exploits can break more ground in the coming weeks, because he wants to recover his Golden Boot Award from 2023 after having received only 19 league goals last season.
That was his lowest competition -back and back since 2014/15 and Lewandowski is currently leading Kylian Mbappe with four goals in the top scoring cards.
He is a good course score about 23 league goals and sets a new La Liga-Mark for himself, but it is unlikely that he will match his Bayern Munich best of 41 in the Bundesliga and 55 in general from 2021 and 2020 respectively.
2019/20 was his only season as the best UEFA Champions League scorer, with 15, and its current total of nine can be built.
Barcelona are strong favorites to claim Benfica in the last 16, and further in the quarterfinals, which would give him at least four games to go to double digits.
He is currently second on the Champions League dull list for 202/25 with Borussia Dortmund Serhou Guirassy on 10 for their collisions with Lille.
