It is apparently certain: Robert Lewandowski will leave FC Bayern by 2023 at the latest. This ends an era in Munich. An era that Lewandowski shaped like no other player before. World footballer, goal machine, record holder. A sober look at the numbers, at the numerous records of the exceptional striker, shows how much the Pole will be missed by the record champions:
Müller record is history
Lewandowski breaks Müller’s age-old record: In the 2020/21 season, the Pole managed the unthinkable. With 41 goals this season in the Bundesliga, he surpassed the record set by Bayern idol Gerd Müller in 1972. And snatched a second record from him: 43 goals in a calendar year – one more than the “bomber of the nation”.
reading tip: The future of FC Bayern is at stake!
He hits and hits and hits: From December 2020 to September 2021, Lewandowski scored in 13 home games in a row – a record. Previous record: Gerd Müller, Jupp Heynckes (12)
Poor BVB: Eight times he tied at least one brace against a club – as happened against Borussia Dortmund. Gerd Müller came to seven (against Hamburger SV and Rot-Weiss Essen).
Successor urgently wanted!
Scorer cannon a must
No cold starter: Lewandowski netted eight times in a row in the first game of the season – another record.
Bundesliga top scorer: He picked up the cannon 5 times in a row – this year for the 7th time in total. So he draws level with who? Sure, Gerd Mueller.
A clipper abroad: His goal in the 2-2 win at Wolfsburg on the final day was his 19th away goal in a season. Has this ever happened? Of course not! And he also holds the record for most away goals overall: 128 – Klaus Fischer follows in second place (116).
Irre-Show in Wolfsburg
Best foreigner in the league: Lewandowski has 312 goals under his belt, more than any other foreign striker in the league. Second place: Claudio Pizarro with 197 goals.
Fastest hat trick in history: What a crazy show. In 2015, Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as a substitute against VfL Wolfsburg within 3:22, a four-pack (5:42 minutes) and five-pack (8:59 minutes), you can do it (if you can).
A serial killer: In the 2019/20 season Lewandowski scored in the first eleven games of the season – new starting record. He overtook Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Klaus Allofs.
Lewandowski leaves Messi behind
Greetings from Cruyff: In 2019/2020 he not only won the treble of cup, championship and Champions League with Bayern, Lewandowski was top scorer in all competitions, only Barca legend Johan Cruyff managed to do that before him.
Mr. Champions League: In his first 100 games in the premier club, Lewandowski has scored 81 goals – more than Lionel Messi (77) and Cristiano Ronaldo (64).
