Robert Lewandowski on…

… winning the German championship: “A very nice moment. As always against Dortmund. It’s the tenth time for me and always something special. We always want to win and always be German champions. We’ve often read that we’re beatable, but we’ve always come back. German champions it’s not that easy to become either. In the coming years you will see what a great success that is.”

… a possible contract extension: “The talks will take place. The exchange is definitely there. Bayern aren’t pushing me. I feel very comfortable here. We have potential to play in the Champions League and that’s the most important thing for me.”

Thomas Mueller about …

… winning the German championship: “We really wanted to. There was a lot of frustration. We were able to get that off our chests. Now it’s wonderful.

The Champions League is just the icing on the cake. The fans go to the stadium for the Bundesliga.”

… the growing boredom in the Bundesliga: “The Kingsley has won the championship in each of its seasons. It’s not boring, it’s outstanding. The Corona period has damaged the Bundesliga teams.
