There were still six minutes on top, but then the game was finally over: FC Bayern made it to the last sixteen of the Champions League despite being outnumbered in the closing stages, led by Robert Lewandowski.

In 3-1 (1-0) against RB Salzburg on Wednesday, the Polish striker celebrated his 71st goal in the premier class and moved up into the top 3 scorer in Europe's top league.

After Lewandowski's lead (43rd minute), an own goal by Maximilian Wöber (52nd) and a header from Leroy Sané (68th) ensured the next hit in the next Munich success of the record series of 15 victories in a row in Europe.

Outnumbered from the 66th minute

With the fourth win in the fourth group game, the defending champion is early in the knockout round, even after yellow-red for Bayern's premier class debutant Marc Roca (66th) it was no longer tight.

This was also due to the long insurmountable Manuel Neuer in the Bayern gate, who jubilantly ripped his arms up after a spectacular rescue act (70th).

When the German U21 international Mergim Berisha scored, the DFB goalkeeper was powerless (73rd).

Lewandowski once again presented himself as a Torgarant: In the Champions League only the multiple world footballers Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus Turin / 131 goals) and Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona / 118) met more often than the 32-year-old who played with Real Madrid legend Raúl caught up.

Lewandowski once again underpinned his ambitions to be honored with the title of world footballer for the first time after being crowned Europe's footballer of the year.

The award will take place on December 17th.
