UEFA Champions League concluded its 2019-20 season with 11 matches in 17 days in August, including seven in Lisbon, Portugal. Bayern Munich won the 2020 title, beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final. Bayern also had the competition’s top goalscorer in Robert Lewandowski.
With the unprecedented version of the Champions League in the book, let’s take a look at the final goal-scoring leaderboard.
15 goals (current leader)
- Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich: 15 goals
It’s a shame they’re not handing out the Ballon d’Or Award this year for the best player in the world. Lewandowski is one of the best forwards in the world and often gets overshadowed by the Lionel Messis and Cristiano Ronaldos of the world. At the start of the tournament, he scored four goals in the space of 15 minutes against Red Star Belgrade, shattering the Champions League record for fastest to four goals in one game. He added his 12th and 13th goals against Chelsea in the second leg of their round of 16 tie. Lewandowski had scored in each of his first nine UCL games this season until the final against PSG.
