Lewandowski’s crazy records: Next Buli record fell

1/23

With his goal in FC Bayern’s 3-1 defeat by Mainz on April 30, 2022, Robert Lewandowski provided the only highlight of the game from Munich’s point of view. His 18th away goal is a Bundesliga record. We look at all Lewy records.

2/23

Lewy has long had a regular place in the football Olympus: After 2020, the attacker has now also been voted World Footballer of the Year 2021.

3/23

It was already a coup for Bayern when Lewandowski moved from Borussia Dortmund to the Isar on a free transfer in 2014. But the attacker easily exceeded the high expectations – Lewy breaks one record after the other. A selection:

4/23

Let’s start with the most important: For almost 50 years, the record of 40 Bundesliga goals by “Bomber” Gerd Müller from the 1971/72 season stood. 40 goals seemed impossible – until Lewy scored an incredible 41 times in the 2020/21 season.

5/23

Incidentally, Müller needed all 34 missions for his record back then. Lewandowski managed his 41 goals of the season in just 29 games.

6/23

In the 2021 calendar year, Lewandowski scored 43 BL goals (34 appearances), more than any player in a calendar year since the BL was founded. This record was also previously held by Gerd Müller (42 in 1972).

7/23

Lewandowski now also holds the BL record for most away goals. He broke Klaus Fischer’s old best (116) in December against Dortmund, now there are 127 (as of April 30, 2022).

8/23

And of course he has long been the most successful foreign goalscorer in Bundesliga history. He has exactly 311 goals (as of April 30, 2022), more than 100 more than Claudio Pizarro (197).

9/23

Lewandowski became the second player to hit 300 goals in BL history. While he did it in the 369th BL appearance, the nation’s bomber did it in his 350th game – with a five-pack against Hertha in 1976.

10/23

Lewandowski scored as many BL goals against Wolfsburg (24) against any other team. Overall, he scored at least 20 times against five teams (Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund, FC Augsburg, SC Freiburg, Mainz).

11/23

Thanks to his brace in the 4-1 win against Greuther Fürth in the league, Lewandowski has now scored against all 26 Bundesliga clubs he has faced since joining Bayern.

12/23

With his goal in the 1:3 defeat against Mainz on April 30, Lewy scored his 18th away goal of the 21/22 season and grabbed his next Bundesliga record. In doing so, he overtakes Jupp Heynckes and Timo Werner (17 each).

13/23

In terms of championship titles, Lewandowski is now at ten (for Bayern and Dortmund). In Bundesliga history, he is in first place with Thomas Müller and David Alaba.

14/23

Lewy played perhaps his best league game in 2015 against VfL Wolfsburg: In the 5-1 win as a substitute he scored the fastest hat-trick (3:22 minutes), four-goal (5:42 minutes) AND five-goal (8:59 minutes) in league history.

15/23

From the point, Lewandowski is also a weapon. In the 2017/2018 season he converted his 17th penalty in a row against Wolfsburg – a record shared with Hans Jörg Butt. With 40 penalty goals, 13 are still missing before Manni Kaltz’s record.

16/23

Serial offender: In the 2019/20 season, Lewandowski always scored for Bayern in the first eleven games of the season – a new starting record. He outperformed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Klaus Allofs.

17/23

Other Bundesliga records: he scored at least once on eight first matchdays. On matchday 3 of the 2021/2022 season, he scored for Bayern in the 16th game in a row – and two games later in the 13th home game in a row. In doing so, he broke Müller records.

18/23

In 2019/20, Lewandowski won the treble of league, cup and Champions League with Bayern and was top scorer in all three competitions. Only Johan Cruyff had done that before, back then in the national champions’ cup.

19/23

Which brings us to the Champions League: Nobody has scored as many goals in their first 100 appearances as Lewandowski in the premier class – a total of 81 (Messi: 77, Ronaldo: 64).

20/23

In November 2021, he scored against Dynamo Kyiv in his ninth consecutive Champions League game. Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy have already done that. But: Lewy managed the feat for the second time (first from September 2019 to May 2020).

21/23

A series that ended in the round of 16 first leg against Salzburg: Lewandowski had always left the pitch as the winner in his last 24 (!) Champions League appearances. No other player even comes close to 20.

22/23

What worked, however, in the second leg in the 7-1 win against Salzburg: Lewy scored a hat-trick within the first 23 minutes of the game – no other player in the premier class managed to do so so early in a game.

23/23

What records could the Pole still break? There are, of course, Gerd Müller’s 365 Bundesliga goals, which suddenly seem within reach. But he would have to stay with Bayern until at least 2024 …

FC Bayern, rumor: Leroy Sane threatens to fail against Stuttgart

Leroy Sane threatens to miss the last home game of the season against VfB Stuttgart. According to picture the winger has a cold and will therefore not be available to Julian Nagelsmann.

Right-back Bouna Sarr will also not be available as he continues to have problems with his patella tendon.

Nagelsmann emphasized that, unlike against Mainz, he will field his best possible eleven, as he wants to round off the handover of the championship trophy and the last home game with a win and a strong performance.

FC Bayern, News: Ulreich extended until 2023
