Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in an exclusive Champions League club on Tuesday night.
Lewandowski became one of just three players to score 30 or more Champions League knockout goals in history when finding the back of the net for Bayern Munich. The centre-forward's goal gave the German side the lead in their quarter-final second leg against Villarreal.
That strike wasn't enough for Bayern Munich to progress. Villarreal, who beat United in the Europa League final last year, scored a late equaliser at the Allianz Arena to win the tie 2-1 on aggregate, knocking Bayern out at the last eight stage.
