Lewandowski breaks Champions League goalscoring record


​Robert Lewandowski set a new Champions League record for the quickest ever four-goal haul in the competition, netting a second-half quadruple in just 14 minutes and 31 seconds.

Bayern Munich cruised to a 6-0 win against Red Star Belgrade - or Crvena zvezda if you're feeling particularly cosmopolitan - with goals also coming from Leon Goretzka and Corentin Tolisso.



But it was Lewandowski who stole the show in Serbia, and the Poland international's four goals on Tuesday night set a new record for the quickest ever quadruple in the Champions League.

That wasn't the only major talking point that came from Lewandowski's four goals either, as he's now joined Lionel Messi as the only other player to score four goals in a Champions League game on more than one occasion.

The 31-year-old last found the back of the net four times in one of the competition's all-time classic knockout stage games, where Lewandowski's Borussia Dortmund picked up a 4-1 win over Real Madrid in 2013.
