Robert Lewandowski took another old record from Bayern Munich great Gerd Müller on Friday.
The Poland star scored his 43rd Bundesliga goal of the year to cap a 4-0 win for Bayern over Wolfsburg and eclipse the previous best mark for goals in a calendar year set in 1972 by "Der Bomber."
Lewandowski scored his 69th goal in the 2021 calendar year, equalling Cristiano Ronaldo's record set in 2013. Messi holds the overall record of 91 goals set in 2012.
Lewandowski, who broke Müller's old record for goals in a season by scoring his 41st last May in the last minute of a 5-2 win over Augsburg, again left it late to score on Friday. He met Jamal Musiala's cross acrobatically to grab the record in the 87th minute.
Thomas Müller - no relation to Gerd - celebrated his 400th Bundesliga game by scoring one goal and setting up another to help Bayern open a nine-point lead before the rest of the 17th round. Dayot Upamecano and Leroy Sané also scored.
Müller got Bayern off to a flying start in the seventh minute when he tapped home the rebound after Koen Casteels stopped Serge Gnabry's effort from range.
Wout Weghorst almost replied at the other end but Manuel Neuer was equal to the Dutch forward's shot. Weghorst was to have another chance later despite Bayern's domination of possession.
Lewandowski came closest with a header that was little trouble for Casteels to gather, but Bayern emerged with renewed vigor against the deep-sitting visitors after the break.
Müller set up Upamecano for the team's second goal in the 57th, three minutes before Sané scored with a fine strike.
Gnabry did his best to set up Lewandowski, who fired over and was then thwarted by Casteels. When it was starting to look like he might finally have to just share a record with Gerd Müller, Lewandowski scored to claim it for himself.
The Poland star had already scored 18 times in the league this season - one more than the entire Wolfsburg team had - and he scored 23 goals in 20 previous Bundesliga games against Wolfsburg - more than against any other team.
Wolfsburg's run of defeats stretched to seven games across all competitions.

Ronaldo scored 69 goals in one calendar year, playing as a damn left winger in prime laliga, lewandowski has scored this playing as full cf in a league where there is augsburg,you haters even use your brain. even in messi's 91 goals year he played as cf under pep, but take nothing away from it, 91 is purely magnificent

Lewandowki play for Bayern(in Europe), Poland (in Europe) but didn’t win UEFA men’s player of the year. It’s not a robbery cos the winner is not Messi. But Lewandowski didn’t win the Ballon d’or as become a robbery cos the winner is Messi. If u want to hate, hate with sense

Certain fanbase's logic 👉 "Lewandowski deserved the ballon dor, because he has scored more goals..." Also them when he equalled Ronaldo 👉 "He just scored those goals in the farmers league... Ronaldo's achievement was better".

Your comments is very useless, Being a Ronaldo fan has affected your Psychological sense. Why can't you just appreciate what he did instead of finding a way to trol him? You are just making excuses, there are many cf in Europe and why are they not scoring goals like lewandowski as well? Cf lw rw can score goals because they played in upfront.

Was it Lewy's fault whatever position CR5 plays or played when he scored 69 goals in 2013? The fact here is his record has been equaled, and might even be broken. While Mess7's unbreakable.

Why can't you just appreciate the fact that Lewandowski is good,it feels like you are trying so hard to defend Ronaldo, same like Messi fans defending his undeserved ballondor, look at Lewandowski age,In 2013 that was prime Ronaldo

in love you for this... respect
Ronaldo is good at scoring agreed , but for Messi ahh nonono. to be sincere, when Messi touches the ball you will know a genius is with the ball.. just like Ronaldinho.. those guys are in another level.. they do unimaginable things. I surport Ronaldo but when Messi holds the ball it's like someone should just kick this guy down.. and that's why Ramos is my man to mark Messi . just kick him down..

yeh like 3 cl in a row or 3 prems in a row or score 115+ goals in international or have every record in UCL and demolish 4 different leagues... look at Messi he can't even play in the farmers league If ronaldo was at psg hell have minimum 16 goals in league 1 and minimum 10 goal in UCL
3 UCLs in a row? I accept. Except the whole Real Madrid squad in 2017 have that. 3 Prems in a row? Man United players have that too. And only in 2 of those 3 seasons Ronaldo was the best. 2007/08 and 2008/09. Demolish 4 different leagues? How about Zlatan demolishing 4 different leagues? What? Portuguese League? At that time, Queresma was better than Ronaldo. But Man United saw more potential in Ronaldo. Zlatan won the league in 5 different leagues and was the teams best player in 4 of those 5 leagues. And it isn't that Messi can't play in PSG. Just because he doesn't score, doesn't mean he sucks. You know how that works because y'all use that logic alot when defending Ronaldo.
