Bayern’s head coach Hansi Flick said: “Generally speaking I did believe it. But, when the 87 and 88th minute started that’s where I didn’t really believe it. But it distinguishes him, he was there where he needed to be and he scored his goal. He now holds the record for himself. So an absolute compliment to him. It was absolutely world class what he has done here in the last two years.
Lewandowski is already second on the all-time scorers list in the Bundesliga, with 277 goals now, behind only Muller’s 365.
Despite missing more than half a dozen clear scoring chances in the game, Lewandowski managed to find a free ball and scored the goal finally.
