ROME, Nov 27 (Agencies): Robert Lewandowski converted a first-half penalty kick against Brest to become the third player to score 100 goals or more in the Champions League, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

But Erling Haaland is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday.
Still, Haaland's brace wasn't enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion's winless streak to six matches.
Lewandowski's early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time.
Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi play in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively.
"It's a nice number," Lewandowski said. "In the past I didn't think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. I'm in good company alongside Cristiano and Messi."
The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137).
Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo.
