Robert Lewandowski’s reunion with Bayern Munich always promised to be a special event.

The man who led the Bavarians’ frontline for eight years faced them for the first time since arriving at Barcelona.

And Lewandowski wasted little time in reminding his former employers of his qualities during Wednesday’s match at Montjuïc.

The Poland international followed the ball home after a defensive mix-up by the visitors allowed Fermín López to slot past Manuel Neuer.

Lewandowski thus claimed his 36th different opponent in the Champions League, with Bayern joining a growing list of victims.

Written in the stars, you could say.
