The king of Polish football, Robert Lewandowski is a striker whose name has become synonymous with goals. A very deadly finisher capable of finishing with both feet, Lewandowski has been generally recognized as one of the best strikers in Europe.

Apart from pace, it is difficult to name a quality the giant Pole does not possess. Silky dribbling skills, immaculate control, predatory finishing, and brilliant heading are just some of it.

From being a scrawny lad struggling in Poland, he has grown into becoming one of the world's deadliest strikers in the last decade. From the first club, Znicz Pruszkow, he has scored goals by the bucketload.

Lewandowski's tally of 21 for Znick Prusszkow and 41 in 82 games for Lech Poznan tells the story of a goalscorer supreme. It has only gotten better since he moved to the Bundesliga, scoring 103 in 187 games for Borussia Dortmund.

His record for Bayern Munich currently stands at 173 goals in 219 games. For the Orly (Polish national team), he is the greatest ever goalscorer with 55 goals in 102 games.
