Almost 50 years later, the star of Bayern Munich
Robert Lewandowski
broke the legend record Gerd ‘Bomber’ Müller by reaching 41 goals in the Bundesliga with a goal in the last minute of the 5-2 win against Augsburg (13th), this Saturday on the last day.
Nothing is impossible! With this goal, Lewandowski broke Gerd Müller’s impressive record
The Polish striker achieved the mark ‘in extremis’ after a shot by Leroy Sané, which was cleared by goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz, which he dribbled before scoring.
“I have the impression of being in a science fiction movie. I have lost my voice. For ninety minutes I tried to dial and was not able, I succeeded at the last minute, with suspense,” said Lewandowski, who celebrated his goal with a T-shirt that said ‘For Ever Gerd’.
With this goal he surpassed the record of 40 goals that the ‘Bomber’ had since the 1971-1972 season, also with the Bayern Munich shirt.
“I have seen Leroy shoot and I thought it would be a goal. It was hard for me before but I expected a situation like this. I thank my team for everything they have done to help me score this goal, I share my record with them, they have allowed me to achieve it. “added the 33-year-old.
The Dutchman Jeffrey Gouweleeuw in his own goal (minute 9), Serge Gnabry (23), Joshua Kimmich (33) and the Frenchman Kingsley Coman (43) had previously scored the goals of the win for Bayern Munich, who celebrated their new title of the Bundesliga, the 31st, before a symbolic 250 spectators.
“It is an incredible feat, but I think that an individual performance of this level, such a record, is a performance of the team. Each member has put themselves at the service of the team, even ‘Lewy’ put their individual interests aside,” he said. coach Hansi Flick, who said goodbye to Bayern Munich after two very successful seasons and who received a tribute.
– The seventh time was the charm –
On a day when he was not as efficient as he is used to, Lewandowski did not hit the mark until his seventh time, on time, to celebrate his record with the handful of people who made it into the Allianz Arena.
At the peak of his career, Lewandowski, the best FIFA player in 2020, becomes the best scorer in the Bundesliga for the fourth year in a row.
Except for surprise, he will also achieve the European Golden Boot, the best scorer on the continent, having a wide advantage over the eternal Lionel Messi (30 goals) and Cristiano Ronaldo (29).
President of Sporting Lisboa: “Cristiano Ronaldo is a fan of the club and one day he will play here again”
His record this season is even more extraordinary because he only participated in 29 games, due to injury, while Müller played all 34 of that 1971-1972 season.
‘The Body’, as his teammates call him because of his athlete’s physique, is the great architect of the ninth consecutive league for the Bavarian giant.
Last season, Lewandowski already lived a dream course, leading Bayern towards a hat trick at the end of the course (Bundesliga-Champions League-German Cup).
In 2021, his Bayern won the Club World Cup in February and revalidated their crown in the Bundesliga. He could not repeat in the Champions League and in the German Cup, but the record of goals achieved this Saturday further enlarges the attacker’s legend.
