Polish striker Robert Lewandowski faces today’s UEFA Champions League match with his team Barcelona against Slavia Prague, in a game held at the latter’s home ground as part of the competition, amid a clear effort to break his continental scoring drought this season.

Lewandowski has not been able to score in the five matches he has played so far in the current edition of the Champions League, marking one of the rarest goal droughts in his European career, putting him under the spotlight ahead of a match against a team hosting the encounter and relying on the home and crowd advantage.

Despite this temporary scoring absence, Lewandowski remains one of the greatest legends of the competition, having scored 105 goals in the UEFA Champions League, ranking third in the all-time top scorers list behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The match against Slavia Prague carries special significance for the Polish star, not only to open his scoring account this season but also to affirm his decisive presence in the continental competition and help his team achieve a positive result in what is considered a pivotal encounter in their European campaign.
