Robert Lewandowski is now a joint all-time top scorer among foreigners in the German football league, the Bundesliga.

Lewandowski netted twice in the Saturday game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. As a result, he has now reached 195 goals scored in the Bundesliga.



He thus equalled the tally of Claudio Pizarro as the all-time highest scoring foreign player in the German top division. The 40-year-old Peruvian currently plays in Werder Bremen and might yet extend his record. The contest is thus still in progress.



Pizarro, an iconic league veteran, has been playing in the Bundesliga for almost 20 years, since the 1999/2000 season. Lewandowski moved to Germany only 9 years ago and needed just 280 games to reach 195 goals, compared to Pizarro’s 451 games.



Lewandowski also leads the top scorer competition in the Bundesliga this season alongside Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt, with 15 goals scored.
