For the uninitiated, Bayern legend Gerd Müller set what was thought to be 🍉 an unbreakable goal record of 40 in the 1971/72 campaign, a figure that stood as a benchmark for strikers for 🍉 almost 50 years.
That was until Lewandowski went one better in the 2024/21 campaign, poking in his 41st goal in the 🍉 90th minute on the final day of the season to seal a 5-2 win over Augsburg. Surely, people thought, there’s 🍉 no way anybody can come close to that again.

Lewandowski ‘only’ scored 35 the following 🍉 year and while Erling Haaland gave it his best shot at Dortmund, even he only managed 27 and 22 goals 🍉 respectively in his two full seasons at the club.
