Munich (AP) - Hansi Flick happily embraced Robert Lewandowski.
The world footballer cemented his exceptional position in the super goal scorer competition and let FC Bayern celebrate an anniversary win in the German Clásico.
«That was a sensational comeback, Lewy finally carried out the action.
Like everyone else, he deserves special praise, ”said the relieved Flick after the rousing 4: 2 (2: 2) against Borussia Dortmund.
For the championship leader from Munich (55 points), everything comes down to a final for the bowl at Easter at pursuer RB Leipzig (53).
"It's a challenge, that's what Germany wanted, that you have a two- or three-way battle at the front," said Flick.
"It's exciting for the Bundesliga, but there are still a few games to play."
Against Dortmund it could have gone wrong with the new deficit this season.
After just nine minutes, the sleepy Bayern were 0-2 behind with Erling Haaland's brace, before turning the game around with a three-pack from Lewandowski and Leon Goretzka, who were particularly incited as a result.

"I have to watch our warm-up to see if we have to change anything," said Flick - and grinned slightly.
Thomas Müller, who recommended himself to others at the EM casting in front of Joachim Löw, who was enthusiastic about the “real top game”, shook his head at the next deficit.
"It's not part of our match plan," he remarked contrite.
"When the score is equal to 0-2, it feels more than modest."
But the Bavarians are the Bavarians - and with their mentality and quality they demonstrated that they absolutely wanted to win this prestigious showdown.
Müller spoke of Munich's “identity and DNA”, Goretzka highlighted a “great energy performance”.
Flick certified this to his entire ensemble and therefore did not want to highlight Lewandowski's goal machine separately.
The Pole scored 31 goals this Bundesliga season, Gerd Müller was on the way to his 40-goal record almost four decades ago after 24 matchdays with “only” 26 goals.
“There are still nine goals, not just nine goals.
I don't have this record in my head, it's still too early, ”said the 32-year-old.
Ten game days remain for the nine goals on the hunt for the historic Müller brand.
After Munich's 50th Bundesliga victory against Dortmund, the 32-year-old Pole visibly enjoyed having trumped BVB's twelve-year-old striker Erling Haaland in a direct duel.

«Robert has proven over the years what a world class player he is.
He's got an insane rate this year too, ”said Flick.
Haaland also has great qualities, but Lewandowski has shown outstanding achievements for years.
Flick trusts him to set the "bomber" record.
“Ultimately, it is important for Robert that the team is successful.
And when the record falls, it's all the more beautiful, ”said the 56-year-old.
Dortmund, who only fell behind after replacing Haaland, who was constantly under strain (60th), made a foul before the groundbreaking 2: 3 by Goretzka (88th) as decisive.
"For me the referee had no balls to whistle," complained BVB captain Marco Reus about a duel between Bayern's wing star Leroy Sané and BVB defensive man Emre Can.
"I don't think we want such duels to end at the center line, otherwise we only have stop-and-go," replied Müller.
The struggling artist Sané underscored his upward trend not only in this courageous scene.
As a preparer, the 25-year-old also played for 1: 2 through Lewandowski.
«Leroy is a player who has set up a lot of goals in the past.
Today he was also decisive in our taking the next goal, ”said Flick.
The all-clear was given to Jérôme Boateng.
The central defender does not fail for long after a capsule strain in his left knee, as was initially feared.
