Lewandowski breaks records in UCL scoring history

Robert Lewandowski scored again in the UEFA Champions League, pushing his career total goals in the competition past Cristiano Ronaldo’s 38 and into third place on the all-time list. His latest goal came during Barcelona’s win over Slavia Prague, bringing his tally to 39 different UCL opponents scored against and extending his run of scoring in consecutive seasons. Franco Mastantuono stood out as one of the youngest scorers for Real Madrid, while Tottenham legend Harry Kane became the first Englishman to reach 71 goals in UEFA club competition. The performance highlights Lewandowski’s sustained excellence and his impact on Europe’s biggest club stage.
💻 Tool of the Week
Using Proton VPN for Amazon Prime
Proton VPN users may sometimes find that Amazon Prime Video does not work as expected when connected. This usually happens because streaming services check your IP location for licensing, and if they detect an IP tied to a VPN, they may block access. Common fixes include clearing your browser cookies and cache to remove old location data, trying multiple VPN servers to find one that works, and verifying you’re using the location you need. Proton VPN’s paid tiers with dedicated streaming support often yield better results than free plans, and contacting support can help resolve persistent issues.
🌍 Travel Hack
If you plan to watch sports or streaming services while travelling internationally, combine a VPN with split tunneling on your device or router. Split tunneling lets you route only your streaming traffic through the VPN while other apps use your local connection. This often improves video speed and reduces buffering, and it makes it harder for streaming platforms to detect the VPN connection. For example, route Prime Video or sports app traffic through a VPN server in your home country while letting maps and email stay on the local network. This balances performance with access to your usual content.
