In contrast, Lewandowski  made his last appearance in the Europa League on 15 December 2010, in BVB’s away tie against Sevilla FC (2:2).

Wearing the colours of Lech Poznań, he scored six times (counting qualifiers) in this competition.

On Thursday 16.02.2023, the Barcelona striker will therefore return to competing in the Europa League after twelve years.
