In conversation with the Polish web portal Virtualna Poland Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed that he assumes that Robert Lewandowski will break Gerd Müller’s record.
“I am convinced that Robert will score 41 goal on Saturday, his colleagues will certainly help him, we will witness a historic event,” predicted Rummenigge.
Comparison with Müller? “Robert is different”
Rummenigge sees a crucial difference between Müller and Lewandowski. Gerd Müller lived to score goals.
“Robert is different, he’s more of a team player, he participates more in the team’s game than Gerd, who was the king of the penalty area. So from a purely footballing point of view, Robert has more to offer,” said Rummenigge.

This coincides with the announcement that Rummenigge recently in the SPORT1-Podcast “My Bavaria week“made
Will Bayern extend with Lewandowski?
Rummenigge already sees Lewandowski as the best player in the world, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
For this reason, an extension with the 32-year-old is definitely an option, as the outgoing Bayern boss reveals: “I can imagine Bayern doing that. Lewandowski is in amazing physical shape and can still be four to five years at the highest Play level. Why not at Bayern? “
