The statistic speaks for itself and proves Lewandowski’s worth as a player and as a striker. Hundred Bundesliga goals are not easy to score, but doing it faster than anyone across the world speaks wonders about the player.

Robert Lewandowski represents his country Poland in all the major football tournaments that are held across the world. Like every other football federation, Poland also rewards its best player across the year with an award. In the last decade, he has won the award nine times out of the ten times it was announced. This speaks volumes about his dominance not only over club football but also for his national team. He is surrounded by some great Polish players as well and to win it ahead of them is something worth more than a milestone.
2) Breaking Gerd Muller’s record
Gerd Muller, a german great who dominated the league during his era. He scored 40 goals in his 34 appearances in that season. It was considered the most challenging record to be broken, but it enters Lewandowski and shatters the record.

Robert Lewandowski himself can only break this record, and no one soon can come close to this fantastic record
