Robert Lewandowski is one of the best players in the history of Poland after his extraordinary performances with teams like Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

After the Qatar 2022 World Cup, in which the national team was eliminated by Kylian Mbappe and France in the Round of 16, all hopes were in the UEFA Euro 24.

Lewandowski is among the favorites to become the top scorer in Germany in an impressive list which includes Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Kai Havertz and Cristiano Ronaldo.
