Lewandowski is on the cusp of a new achievement
Bayern Munich international scorer Robert Lewandowski stands on the verge of achieving a new goal achievement as he needs one goal to equal Klaus Fischer's number as the second best scorer in the history of the German League, when his team is a guest to Werder Bremen in the 25th stage of the German football league.
Lewandowski scored a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund, raising his tally to 31 goals in the league this season and is one goal behind Fischer, who scored 268 goals in the Bundesliga, noting that the absolute record is held by former Bayern Munich star "defender" Gerd Muller with 365 goals in 427. match.
Lewandowski is also panting for nine additional goals to equal Mueller's number in one season in the German League, after the latter scored 40 goals in the 1971-1972 season.
Fischer nominated the Polish striker to equal or break Mueller's number, saying to "Kicker" magazine: "He has a great chance, needs nine goals in the last 10 matches. The way he is managing this season makes sense to me."
Bremen is the team that received the most goals from Lewandowski in the Bundesliga, scoring 20 goals in 20 games against him, and Bremen did not beat the Bavarian team for 13 years.
The Bavarians scored 13 goals in their last 3 matches, after losing to Eintracht Frankfurt last month.
