Robert Lewandowski once again paves the way to Bayern’s victory with his hat trick against Stuttgart. With his goalscoring rate, the Pole is reminiscent of Messi & CR7 in the best La Liga times. If the world footballer continues to score, he will soon break Gerd Müller’s “eternal” record.
At first it seemed anything but good going for FC Bayern Munich: With a brave initial phase of VfB Stuttgart and the red card Alphonso Davies in the twelfth minute of the game, it did not look like a Munich victory. And then leader Joshua Kimmich was also missing because of a cold.
No problem for FCB in these times. The Bavarians shook themselves briefly, ignited their turbo and decided the southern summit in around 20 minutes with a clear 4-0 for themselves. Another match winner: Robert Lewandowski.
Only five goals left to the “all time” record
With his season goals number 33, 34 and 35, the center forward scored for the 271st time in the Bundesliga – only Gerd Müller (365 goals) is in the all-time scorer list before the 32-year-old. Not only with this record is Lewy sitting in the neck of the “bomber of the nation”: If Lewandowski should mark another five hits in this BL game round, the goalgetter will set Müller’s “eternal” record (40 goals in one season).
According to his own statements, the ex-Dortmund is not yet thinking of this record. So says the right foot after the final whistle on Sky Micro: “At this moment I am thinking from game to game.” The national player “doesn’t want to think much about the chance to make history.” The fact that he managed to overtake Klaus Fischer (268 goals) in the all-time top scorer list still makes him “very proud”.
But how does the striker manage to keep going? For the attacker himself, the mentality plays an elementary role: “It’s a big challenge for the head to be always ready and always hungry for the goals.” It is also important to “always try to give everything” in every single game.
Despite his sensational form, the Bayern goal machine warns of the coming weeks: “I know that the burden of a game every three days will now come and in the Champions League you have to stay in top form.”
