Bayern Munich striker, Robert Lewandoski can do no wrong at the moment. The polish footballer’s superlative performance in his side’s game with Wolfsburg last night sent the football world into a frenzy. As a matter of fact, it is still a trending topic in sports circles.
The visitors were leading 1-0 until the 27 year-old stepped off the bench at half time and scored all five goals within an official time of eight minutes, 59 seconds sending the German club on top of the Bundesliga.
He admitted having little idea of how the goals went in. He told German sky, “I have no idea how quick my hat-trick was, maybe five minutes? Okay, it was a bit quicker than that.”
“To score four goals in a Champions League semi-final was very important and a big story in my career, but to score five goals means this is another big evening for me. I just wanted to shoot and shoot again. At 1-0 down, I had to score at least two goals.”
Bayern coach Pep Guardiola also confessed that “I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life! Five goals in nine minutes! Wow!. I may never see anything like that again, either.”
That was the first time five goals have been scored in a single German league match since Michael Toennies in August 1991.
Lewandoski has officially joined my growing list of footie crushes. 🙂
