Freiburg (dpa) -

Robert Lewandowski: “It's a great honor.

For me, but also for the modern history of the Bundesliga in Germany.

That pleases me very much.

It was a legendary record that lasted for a long time.

What Gerd Müller did was incredible.

I never thought that I could manage to have a record with him.

I am very proud and still can't believe it.

I still need some time.

The record belongs to the whole team.

Not only is my name on the list, but that of the whole team. ”

Joachim Löw, national coach at Sportbuzzer: “It's impressive to score such a number of goals.

To even get into the region of 40 goals per season in the Bundesliga is amazing.

Nowadays it is certainly more difficult than it was before.

Gerd Müller was unique in Germany, but every record is broken at some point.

At some point someone always comes along who is even better.

So it is with all records.

Even if Lewandowski now scores 41 goals, this record will be broken at some point. "

Lothar Matthäus on Sky: “Confidently transformed.

Has he earned himself, he has worked for himself.

Congratulations on this record and the 40th goal. "

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, CEO of FC Bayern: “We are all happy with and for Robert Lewandowski. We brought him to Bayern on a free transfer seven years ago, and he became one of the most valuable players in our club's history. Seven times German champion, Champions League winner, European footballer of the year, world footballer - and now this brand. I played with Gerd Müller and I know that he will give Robert this day with all his heart. Both are strikers who stand out in the history of football. "

Oliver Kahn, FC Bayern board member: “Robert Lewandowski has been setting global standards as a striker for many years.

Europe's footballer of the year, world footballer and now that. With this goal he is on a par with Gerd Müller, one of the greatest of all time.

With this unbelievable achievement, he set a monument for himself and the entire team today. "

Herbert Hainer, President FC Bayern: “He deserves to write history like Gerd Müller once did.

FC Bayern can be extremely proud that football fans all over the world associate such extraordinary strikers with our club forever. "

Hasan Salihamidzic, FC Bayern Sports Director: “Robert has now achieved something alongside Gerd Müller that nobody will take away from him anytime soon. I would have liked very much if Gerd had been in the stadium today. I think he would have been happy for Robert. Gerd was such an impeccable sportsman, and Robert adores him as we all adore Gerd. FC Bayern can be very proud of two strikers who are so unique in world football. "

Hansi Flick, FC Bayern coach: “Robert had his most successful season last year - he won the triple with the team and became a world footballer.

Now he has discontinued Gerd Müller's historic brand.

But that is always a performance of the team, they have to provide the templates.

Today we should have made it 3-1, but because of the second half, Freiburg also deserved the point.

In the last few years you would never have believed that the record would fall.

But a lot is possible in football.

Right now Robert is the best striker in the world.

We'll have to wait and see what comes next.

The competition has to decide how long he will have his record. "

Thomas Müller, professional FC Bayern: “He's only human too, but someone who is very, very good in front of goal.

I can't put it in this historical context because I'm there myself.

Gerd Müller brought this club with his goals to where we are now.

Without Gerd Müller, we might still travel there on foot.

Without him, the association as it exists now would not exist.

The club grew up because of such players and that Lewy has now put itself on a par, you can only take your hat off to that.

The team has granted him that and appreciates what he does. "
