Robert Lewandowski: Bayern Munich star breaks Gerd Muller’s Bundesliga goalscoring record on final day

Bayern Munich talisman Robert Lewandowski has entered the German football record books on the final day of the 2020/21 Bundesliga season.

The ever-prolific Polish striker left it late to notch his 41st League goal of the season as Bayern celebrated their ninth successive title triumph with a 5-2 demolition of Augsburg at the Allianz Arena.

That stoppage-time effort - which came after he was denied by a number of fine saves from compatriot Rafal Gikiewicz - saw Lewandowski break a 49-year Bundesliga record belonging to Bayern and Germany icon Gerd Muller, who notched 40 times during the 1971/72 season.

“I really have no words to describe this,” Lewandowski said.

“When you try over 90 minutes to score a goal and it is just not happening and then with the last kick of the game you score then it feels absolutely amazing.

“I am very happy. This is certainly a highlight in my career.

“It was difficult for me to remain patient. But I kept believing that the situation might come and I would have to be ready for it.”
