Bayern Munich star player Robert Lewandowski equalled Gerd Muller’s Bundesliga record for goals scored in a single calendar year as Bayern Munich thrashed Stuttgart. In their Bundesliga midweek game, the Polish international scored twice as Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 5-0. On Tuesday, his second goal was his 42nd in 2021, matching Muller’s haul from 1972.
Robert Lewandowski Beats Muller’s Record
Former Arsenal star Serge Gnabry scored a hat trick with Lewandowski’s brace to complete the 5-0 demolition. On Friday, one more goal in Bayern’s final game of the year at home to Wolfsburg will give Robert Lewandowski the record outright. In May, the Poland striker scored in the last minute of the 2020-21 season to break Muller’s record for Bundesliga goals in a campaign.
Gnabry, who was involved in all five goals in Stuttgart, has now scored nine goals in Germany’s top flight this season, making him the highest goalscorer as a midfielder this season in the German Bundesliga. The win moves Bayern Munich nine points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who can cut the gap at the top of the table to six points with victory at home to bottom club Greuther Furth on Wednesday.
