Why you should back Barcelona
Robert Lewandowski is one of three players that share the club lead with three goals in the Champions League.

Lewandowski is tied for seventh in La Liga with 13 goals and shares second place with eight assists.
Forward Joao Felix and winger Ferran Torres also have netted three goals for Barcelona in the competition, while three players have recorded two goals apiece.

Mbappe is the leading scorer in France's Ligue 1 with 24 goals in 26 contests.
