Robert Lewandowski Breaks Gerd Müller's 49-Year-Old Record
Historic Moment for Bayern Munich Striker
41 Goals in 29 Games
Robert Lewandowski has made history by breaking Gerd Müller's 49-year-old Bundesliga goalscoring record. The Polish striker scored his 41st goal of the 2020/21 season in Bayern Munich's 5-2 win against FC Augsburg on the final day of the campaign.
Lewandowski's goal came in the 90th minute of the match, and it sealed Bayern's eighth consecutive Bundesliga title. The striker has now scored more goals in a single Bundesliga season than any other player in history.
Müller's record had stood since 1972, when he scored 40 goals for Bayern Munich. Lewandowski has now surpassed that mark by one goal, and he has also become the first player to score more than 40 goals in a Bundesliga season since Müller.
Lewandowski's achievement is all the more remarkable considering that he missed several games through injury earlier in the season. He has now scored 41 goals in just 29 Bundesliga appearances this season, a remarkable goalscoring rate.
Lewandowski's goalscoring exploits have helped Bayern Munich to another Bundesliga title, and they have also helped him to win the European Golden Shoe award for the second time in his career. He is now one of the most decorated strikers in world football, and he will be hoping to continue his goalscoring form for many years to come.
