Robert Lewandowski is currently unstoppable. Against the so far unbeaten VfL Wolfsburg, the striker single-handedly ensured the triple winner’s comeback victory – and thus set another scent mark one day before the world footballer’s election.
Sky expert Lothar Matthäus got straight to the point after Robert Lewandowski’s next gala. “He’s the most complete player on the planet. If that doesn’t work, I don’t believe FIFA any more. You can’t do more like him,” said the record international at Sky with a view to the choice of world footballers in the evening (from 7 p.m. in the free livestream and blog on skysport.de). The superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are Lewandowski’s competitors.

As if he wanted to advertise himself again, the 32-year-old Pole underlined his world class and immense value for triple winners Bayern Munich in the arduous 2: 1 (1: 1) in the top Bundesliga match against VfL Wolfsburg. The early lead by Maximilian Philipp (5th) made up for Lewandowski seconds before the break (45th + 1), shortly after the change he scored the winning goal (50th).
It was his Bundesliga goals 250 and 251 in the 332nd game, only Klaus Fischer (268) and Gerd Müller (365) have been more accurate so far. The striker has already scored 15 times in the league this season, and 18 goals in competitive matches in 17 games.
Lewandowski has “no pressure” in the world footballer election
He was very happy, “two goals, three points,” said the striker succinctly. And the FIFA election? “I have to honestly say, I didn’t think about it that much, I thought about the game,” he added. Now he has a little more time “to think about the awards. But everything is very easy, I have no pressure.”
Manuel Neuer, who is considered the favorite for the choice of FIFA’s world goalkeeper, doesn’t have that either. It would be the first award for newcomers in this trophy, which has only been awarded since 2017. However, the 2014 world champion has the choice of world goalkeeper of the IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics, Anm. d. Red.) already won five times (2013-2016 & 2020, Anm. d. Red.).

–Against Wolfsburg, Neuer secured the narrow victory with two spectacular parades in the final phase and thus ensures that the Munich team before the direct duel on Saturday (from 5:30 p.m. live and exclusively on Sky) stay at the Werkself in the top game against league leaders Bayer Leverkusen ..
Bayern want victory at front runner Leverkusen
“We want to finish a great, very successful 2020 in Leverkusen with a three-point if possible,” emphasized coach Hansi Flick. “We just have to do it,” added Lewandowski. He doesn’t use the high stress of the last few weeks as an excuse: “It’s a lot on the head, we just have to accelerate, no matter how good Leverkusen is. We have to win the last game.”
