Striker’s Relentless Drive in a Record-Breaking Year Puts Him at the Top Again
Robert Lewandowski’s remarkable ascent in world football has seen him break records and put up numbers that rival the legendary Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. In 2021, the Polish striker surpassed Gerd Müller’s long-standing record for the most goals in a Bundesliga season, finishing with an astonishing 41 goals. Lewandowski’s achievements, driven by an unyielding desire to improve, have placed him at the pinnacle of football for a second consecutive year.
While many felt that the world of football awards would see a shift in criteria, perhaps focusing on artistry or defensive excellence, Lewandowski has defied expectations by continuing to rack up staggering individual statistics at the age of 33. His record-breaking feats include surpassing Müller’s goal tally from the 1971-72 season, which was celebrated as a monumental achievement.
Lewandowski’s individual brilliance, combined with Bayern Munich’s success, which included winning the Club World Cup in February, has made a strong case for his recognition alongside the greatest of the era. His relentless pursuit of excellence and consistent performances have made him one of the most insatiable players of his generation.
