Lewandowski’s four-year spell at Barcelona ended with a 3-1 defeat to Valencia. He scored once, and his goal total of 120 placed him among Barcelona’s all-time leading scorers. The total puts him in a group that includes Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Rivaldo. The piece also highlights players whose scoring records Lewandowski surpassed at the club. Hristo Stoichkov joined Barcelona in 1990, became a key figure in the Dream Team, won multiple La Liga titles and the 1992 European Cup, and scored 117 goals in 255 appearances. Neymar arrived in 2013, won major domestic trophies and the 2015 Champions League, and scored 105 goals in 186 appearances before leaving for PSG in 2017.
"Lewandowski's four-year spell at Barcelona came to an end on Saturday as the Catalans fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia. It was a disappointing outing for Barcelona, but Lewandowski's only goal was a silver lining, as the Pole ended his career entering the top ten club, in Barça's all-time goalscorers' list. With 120 goals, Lewandowski has indeed entered a club that includes the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Rivaldo, among others."
"Across two stints at the club (1990-1995 and 1996-1998), Stoichkov struck up a devastating partnership with Romario and Michael Laudrup, helping Barça to four consecutive La Liga titles between 1991 and 1994, along with the club's first-ever European Cup in 1992. He won the Ballon d'Or in 1994 after a stellar World Cup campaign with Bulgaria. Known for his ferocious left foot and combative temperament, Stoichkov scored 117 goals in 255 appearances for the Catalans."
"The Brazilian arrived at Camp Nou in 2013 from Santos amid massive fanfare and quickly justified the hype as part of the famed 'MSN' trident alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. In four seasons at the club, Neymar lifted two La Liga titles, three Copas del Rey and, most memorably, the Champions League in 2015 - Barcelona's last European triumph. He scored 105 goals in 186 appearances before his world-record €222 million move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017."
