The Polish hitman will return from international duty just two goals off the 200 mark for the Bundesliga side after notching 103 for Borussia Dortmund.
Bundesliga fans have grown accustomed to seeing Robert Lewandowski’s signature goal celebration over the last decade – but the Bayern Munich hitman is remaining tight-lipped as to its full meaning.
Plenty of those strikes have been accompanied by his signature move, with his fingers pointing and hands crossed across his chest.
But while there is a certain similarity to fellow former Dortmund man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Black Panther-inspired celebration, Lewandowski’s has its roots a little closer to home.
"The celebration has something to do with my daughter,” he told Bayern’s YouTube channel. “I don’t want to go into details, it’s a little secret!
"I want to show that my family are always behind me, as that has helped me a lot in my career as a footballer.”
Lewandowski’s daughter, Klara, was born to wife and fellow professional athlete Anna in May 2017.
"There’s so much euphoria [when you score] that you just don’t think,” Lewandowski added.
"It just happens. Sometimes I think afterwards, ‘what did I do?’ You just do whatever your heart or head tells you to do, which is what happens to me on the pitch.
"That moment when you score a goal and 80,000 fans cheer your name is a really special feeling. You get goosebumps and just want to fly.
"But I also know that you need to come back to reality after just a few seconds – you can’t let the euphoria show.
"It’s hard to explain what you experience in that moment. I wish everyone could enjoy that feeling at least once in their life.”
