Robert Lewandowski Breaks Bundesliga Goal-Scoring Record

41 Goals in a Single Season

Robert Lewandowski, the prolific striker for FC Bayern Munich, has etched his name into Bundesliga history by setting a new single-season goal-scoring record. With 41 goals in the 2020/21 campaign, Lewandowski has eclipsed the previous record held by Gerd Müller, who scored 40 goals in the 1971/72 season.

A Season of Dominance

Lewandowski's record-breaking season has been one of complete dominance. The Polish international has been a constant threat for Bayern, scoring goals with remarkable consistency. His goals have played a pivotal role in Bayern's ninth consecutive Bundesliga title and their triumph in the DFB-Pokal.

Guinness World Records Recognition

In addition to his Bundesliga exploits, Lewandowski has also achieved recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records. His run of scoring in five consecutive matches in just 859 minutes earned him four separate entries in the prestigious record book.

A Master of Breaking Records

Lewandowski's goal-scoring prowess has seen him break numerous records throughout his career. Even in his early 30s, the Bayern striker continues to set new benchmarks. In the final minutes of the game against VfL Wolfsburg, Lewandowski had a chance to break another record, but it ultimately eluded him.

A Moment of Redemption

After a disappointing 1-3 defeat to Mainz on April 30, 2022, Lewandowski found solace in scoring Bayern's only goal of the game. Despite the loss, the goal served as a reminder of his remarkable abilities and his enduring legacy in the Bundesliga.
