The Polish striker is shining bright with his performances in front of goal this season
Bayern Munich sharpshooter Robert Lewandowski tops our list of players who could outshine Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi this season. Well, that could look like an understatement to many, as it appears the Polish striker is already getting the job done.

Lewandowski is currently the top goalscorer across Europe's top-five leagues, with 19 efforts from 17 Bundesliga appearances. That places him at the top of the race for the European Golden Shoe. As if that isn't enough, he also tops the Champions League goalscoring chart after bagging 10 goals in the European tournament.
Combined, he's recorded 30 goals to his name across all competitions this season. Both Messi and Ronaldo are far from those figures. As such, it's easy to see why we decided to put him at the top of this list.
