A dynamic striker, Robert Lewandowski is unquestionably one of the greatest goal scorers soccer’s ever seen. Between stints with various Polish squads, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, the 34-year-old has the 11th-most goals (346) in the sport’s history. And after breaking records and setting new bars of success with Bayern, Lewandowski is out to prove himself worthy in Catalonia with his new squad, Barcelona.
Predictably, that plan is already going quite well.
On Sunday afternoon, Lewandowski and Barcelona had Vallodolid (+1500) on the table in their first game of the La Liga season. They, of course, made quick work in an eventual 4-0 victory. But not before Lewandowski scored an incredible backheel goal that looked a lot easier than it should’ve been for the striker:

I mean, how? Having the audacity to attempt that shot on goal is one thing. But to be so gifted, it’s an accurate shot at the net? I guess that’s why Lewandowski’s a goal-scoring great.
