Undefeated data. Robert Lewandowski was the top scorer in the UEFA qualifying rounds heading to Russia 2018. He scored 16 goals in 10 games played. He beat Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 15 touchdowns.

The big surprise of that qualifying run was seeing Sweden take down the Netherlands in the group stage and then knock Italy out in the playoffs.
