Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski has become the third player in history to score 100 goals in the Champions League.
Lewandowski netted a first-half penalty to give Barcelona a 1-0 lead in their group-phase match against Brest on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the list of players with a century of European Cup goals.
Ronaldo scored 140 times in 183 games for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, while Messi notched 129 goals in 163 matches for Barcelona and Paris St-Germain.
Lewandowski reached the milestone in his 125th game - slower than Messi (123rd) but faster than Ronaldo (137th). However, the Poland striker's current scoring rate of 0.8 goals a game is slightly better than either Ronaldo or Messi's career marks.
He has scored 21 goals in 19 games in all competitions this season, including 15 in 14 La Liga matches.
Barcelona are currently four points clear at the top of the Spanish league having played one game more than closest challengers Real Madrid.
