Robert Lewandowski has set Gerd Müller’s Bundesliga record of 40 goals in one season. Bayern Munich’s opening goal against Freiburg (2-2) in the 33rd round was the 32-year-old’s 40th goal of the season. On Twitter, the Pole doesn’t just get praise for his performance.
I achieved a goal that once seemed impossible to imagine #Lewy40 ⚽ I’m so unbelievably proud to make history for @FC Bayern, and to play a part in creating the stories that fans will tell their children – following in the footsteps of legends like Gerd Müller # RL9 # 4EverGerd ???????? pic.twitter.com/G7EYWz88dn

Typically German … the record is never broken (…) now that it has happened “but he had 8 penalties ???? Gerd shot three times and was not allowed to shoot any more, let’s keep it quiet! Just like the Lewa 28 game and Gerd 34 congratulations #Lewandowski

Against the gasp here: You can find Gerd Müller unique and #Lewandowski still allow the record. That’s what sport is all about. Ask Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Tom Brady or Lionel Messi. #FC Bayern #SCFFCB

“But Gerd Müller is still the greatest” – maybe you can count yourself lucky that the Bundesliga now has two strikers in this weight class. #Lewandowski #FC Bayern

Many years ago people were happy when strikers cracked the 20-goal mark. 40 could fall today. You should be happy to see it happen. #Lewandowski #Müller

Stupid club, but a great set record. #Lewandowski
