Poland hammered Romania 6-0 in the UEFA Nations League, with Lewandowski the star of the show. He struck in the 24th, 47th and 86th minutes to underline his enduring goalscoring threat.<\/p>\n

The treble took the striker to 92 goals for his country, a seventh international hat-trick and sole possession of sixth place on the all-time list of international scorers. In reaching that mark, he leapfrogged some of the game’s biggest names.<\/p>\n
Next in his sights is Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku, who sits fifth on 94. Just two goals now separate the pair, leaving the door wide open for Lewandowski to keep climbing.<\/p>\n
Scoring was not enough for him, though. Lewandowski chose a striking way to mark the hat-trick, racing to the corner flag and placing his hand on it in a clear nod to Yamal’s famous celebration.<\/p>\n
Goalscoring brilliance met a cheeky personal touch. Lewandowski walked away from the win over Romania with three more goals, a historic Poland tally, and a celebration straight out of the Yamal playbook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Lewandowski borrowed a trick from his former Barcelona teammate Lamine Yamal, mimicking the Spaniard’s celebration on a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,78591,4436,286688,33511,31196,105,278721],"class_list":["post-634730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-l-yamal","tag-poland","tag-poland-vs-romania","tag-r-lewandowski","tag-romania","tag-sports","tag-uefa-nations-league-b"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
