For club and country, he has scored more than 600 goals in his senior career.
With Znicz Pruszków, Lewandowski led all goal scorers in the third and second tiers of Polish football. He then transferred to Lech Pozna, where he helped the team win the 2009–10 Ekstraklasa.
In 2010, he transferred to Borussia Dortmund, where he won honors like two consecutive Bundesliga championships and the league’s top goalscorer award.
