Munich (dpa) - Now the historic 40 is shaking properly.
Robert Lewandowski could have equaled or even surpassed the seemingly eternal Bundesliga scoring record by "Bomber" Gerd Müller at Bayern Munich's 6-0 shooting festival against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
But the 32-year-old Pole was content with his season goals 37, 38 and 39. And two games in Freiburg and against Augsburg, the world footballer still has time to write football history.
Lewandowski knows exactly how it should work: “It doesn't help if you really want it.
You have to stay calm. "
On Bayern’s championship day, Lewandowski was once again triumphant.
He was able to cheer three times: after an early goal in minute two, a spectacular side pull to make it 3-0 and the cool hand penalty made to make it 5-0.
"39 hits are sensational," said coach Hansi Flick, who knows how "hot" Lewandowski is for the record that the now 75-year-old Müller set 49 years ago.

Who or what should stop Lewandowski?
The last two opponents?
More like another injury.
Or the darn corona virus that is still lurking everywhere.
Or a yellow lock?
With four warnings, the Munich attacker stands.
"He has to be careful in Freiburg," warned Flick.
In any case, the record hunter can absolutely count on his teammates.
That could be seen against Gladbach.
The "story with Lewy" not only wants to lead Thomas Müller to a happy ending: "If he cleans the things that we put on him, then it will work."
Not only Müller always had an eye for the Bavarian "bomber" of the present in almost every attack.
But not every shot, not every header found its way into the goal.
"You saw how the team supported him," said Flick of the all-for-Lewy mission.

Lewandowski used to be a goal-egoist on the pitch. He and Arjen Robben have fought like small children about a penalty on the pitch. To forget. Past. On Saturday he gave Kingsley Coman a generous 4-0. "I can be grateful that I get so many templates from my colleagues," said team player Lewandowski. He has scored 275 goals in 348 Bundesliga games. The former Dortmund player celebrated 201 of them in 217 games in the Bayern jersey. He is worthy of surpassing the Bayern legend Müller, whom everyone just calls and called the "bomber".
«Robert is in great shape.
He really wants it, ”said world goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Müller's “record for eternity”, as Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said, is shaking more than ever.
And that although Lewandowski missed four games in April due to a knee injury.
For Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeneß, what he recently said in a dpa interview applies: "If Robert makes it, then he deserves to be the top scorer of all the top scorer."
