A week after separating from coach Niko Kovac, Bayern Munich bounced spectacularly in the league with the correction imposed on Borussia Dortmund (4-0) Saturday. Robert Lewandowski, author of a double, does not weaken and continues records and statistics staggering.

A nice farewell gift to Uli Hoeness. The former striker, who will relinquish his posts as chairman and chairman of the supervisory board of Bayern Munich to Herbert Hainer on November 15, was treated to fireworks Saturday, November 9 at the Allianz-Arena. In his den, the German champion made a mouthful of Borussia Dortmund (4-0) during the 11th day of the Bundesliga.

A perfect week

The crisis period does not have the same violence, depending on the club where you are. Last Sunday, a few hours after a heavy and historic defeat in Frankfurt (5-1), Niko Kovac was dismissed from his coaching position . The reasons: lack of results and disappointing performances.

Six days later, Bayern is much better. Wednesday, he beat Olympiacos in the Champions League, where he leaves little room for competition in the group stage (four games, four wins, 15 goals scored in total including a 7-2 win over the field of Tottenham, qualification already acquired for the round of 16). And this Saturday, Borussia Dortmund sank under the Bavarian waves. A "Klassiker" ("Classic") whose great man is, once again, Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski sees double

Facing his former club (where he scored 103 goals in 187 games played between 2010 and 2014) is not a problem for the Pole. He has only the goal in mind. And Dortmund can attest to that ... like all the teams that have crossed the road to Bayern this season, in fact. The festival of the striker in series, Munich since 2014, began after the first quarter of an hour.

Lewandowski opened the scoring with a diving header in the 17th minute on a Benjamin Pavard cross. His teammate Serge Gnabry made the break (47th), then the No. 9 put out any suspense by scoring the goal of 3-0 close (76th). A last goal was scored in the 80th minute by Mats Hummels, against his side. Bayern are back on the third step of the podium in the league, ahead of Dortmund and only one point behind leaders Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Pole scores with every game and pushes the boundaries again

Polish statistics are as frightening as they are unpublished. It's very simple: since the beginning of the season, and despite the "crisis" that runs through the club, Robert Lewandowski scores every game. Before him, no player had scored at least one goal in each of the first eleven Bundesliga days. The 31-year-old striker is leading the league scorers with 16 goals in 11 games. In all competitions, Lewandowski has 23 goals in 18 games.

Waiting for the arrival of a new coach - Hans-Dieter Flick will be responsible for the interim - Bayern Munich can sleep soundly: domestic and European quests are still topical thanks to the Robert Lewandowski machine , which is now only one goal to equal the third top scorer in the history of the club (214 for the Pole against 2015 for Rainer Ohlhauser, 218 for Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and 564 for Gerd MĂĽller).
