The man of the day smiled contentedly as he finished work.

Robert Lewandowski has already set and set many records, and he came very close to this very special one, which is considered an “all-time” record, with a top performance on Saturday afternoon.

In the 4-0 (4-0) win against VfB Stuttgart, Bayern's striker scored three goals and has already scored 35 goals this season - he has never succeeded in so many.

Gerd Müller holds the season record with 40 goals (1971/1972).

The Munich team scored all four goals outnumbered.

They still have four points ahead of the Saxons ahead of the top game against the pursuers RB Leipzig on Holy Saturday.

Lewandowski overtook Klaus Fischer in the all-time goalscorer list and is now second behind Müller.

In 215th Bundesliga games for FC Bayern, the 32-year-old world footballer has now scored 197 goals;

only Gerd Müller scored more often for a club, 365 times for Bayern.

The afternoon hadn't started well for the Munich team.

Hans-Dieter Flick had to do without his midfielder Joshua Kimmich in his 50th league game as head coach, the national player paused because of a cold.

Flick pulled David Alaba from central defense into midfield.

The absence of Kimmich could have been the chance for Marc Roca - but Flick left the Spanish access outside again.

Salihamidzic is responsible for the transfer of Rocas.

Flick had spoken to the sports director during the week, the relationship between the two had recently been very tense.

On a bus trip a few weeks ago, Flick said according to "BILD" that Salihamidzic should shut up.

A sentence slipped out of him, "of which I was not proud and which I feel sorry for".

He and Salihamidzic have now shaken hands, according to Flick.

Against Stuttgart both saw from the sideline as the referee showed their full-back Alphonso Davies the red card after a foul against Wataru Endo in the twelfth minute of the game.

But instead of having more problems with one player less, Bayern turned it up - and scored three goals within five minutes.

First Lewandowski (18th) met, then Serge Gnabry (22nd), then Lewandowski (23rd), who turned again shortly before half-time (39th).

Lewandowski took turns when it came to body parts: he hit with his right foot, with his head and with his left.

In the second half of the game, the Stuttgart increased and came up with scoring chances.

And Lewandowski?

He could even have scored another goal, but shot over the gate.

In the final phase, Flick changed the Pole to spare him.

For more goals Müller in his mission to set the Müller record, Lewandowski still games.

1. FC Cologne - BVB 2: 2

From Dortmund's point of view, the debate about the future of the miracle striker has long been an annoying companion.

How long Erling Haaland will play for Borussia seems to be one of the most exciting questions in world football.

According to the latest media reports from Spain, the new adopted home of the Norwegian is already known.

On Saturday the newspaper "abc" announced that Haaland would switch to Real Madrid in the summer.

The club wanted to pay the attacker's services for a fee of 120 million euros.

At the same time, the Spanish newspaper “Sport” announced that the new president of FC Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, was also working intensively on Haaland.

Laporta has a very good relationship with Haaland's advisor Mino Raiola, with whom he has already contacted.

It is uncertain who is right in the end.

What is clear, however, is that Haaland also provided evidence of its top class on matchday 26.

In the away game at 1. FC Köln, he took the lead after just three minutes.

The striker skilfully took a wonderfully timed cross from Emre Can with him, skilfully turned past the somewhat passive opponent Jorge Meré and then hit with a left-footed shot through the legs of FC goalkeeper Timo Horn.

It was a mixture of force and elegance that made this hit so special.

However, the Borussia missed the 1-0 lead.

Instead, Cologne became increasingly popular - and was rewarded.

At first, referee Daniel Siebert did not recognize a handball by BVB young star Jude Bellingham in his own penalty area, but then after a short video study he consequently decided on a penalty.

Ondrej Duda did not miss the chance and certainly scored to equalize (35th).

With the draw it went into halftime.

But whoever expected angry attacks from Borussia was mistaken.

On the contrary: after two good chances through Haaland and substitute Youssoufa Moukoko, it was the home side who took the lead.

Ismail Jakobs hit the crossbar well worth seeing (65th).

But Haaland had the last word - on a pass from Ansgar Knauff, he scored the 2-2 (89th).

Eintracht Frankfurt - Union Berlin 5: 2

Robert Andrich looked after the ball in disbelief.

The sharp back pass of the Berlin defender had surprised his goalkeeper Andreas Luthe - who slipped to make matters worse - badly after 35 minutes.

A curious own goal for the intermittent 1: 2.Andrich's dropout was one of the decisive moments in the sometimes spectacular 5: 2 (4: 2) of Eintracht Frankfurt against Union Berlin.

But even without the support of the opponent, Eintracht would have underpinned their Champions League ambitions in the long term.

The guests started dangerously: After a corner, Robin Knoche shot the Frankfurt goal, Djibril Sow cleared the line (1st).

It was the starting point for a turbulent first half.

After 100 seconds Filip Kostic served his striker André Silva, who pushed in to make it 1-0.

But the Unioners seemed unimpressed and quickly equalized through Max Kruse (7th).

The own goal of his team caused a real frenzy among the hosts.

Frankfurt only increased to 3: 1 (39th) through Kostic, before Silva made it 4: 1 with his 21st goal of the season (41st).

Only Bernd Hölzenbein (26) managed more goals this season for Eintracht in the 1976/77 season.

Kruse shortened to 2: 4 (45th + 3) before the break.

In the second half it got a little quieter, Chandler still scored the 5: 2 in the closing stages.

Werder Bremen - VfL Wolfsburg 1: 2

With a win in Bremen Wolfsburg emphasized its ambitions for the Champions League.

VfL laid the foundation for the 2: 1 (2: 1) early on.

Maxence Lacroix and Bremen's Joshua Sargent extended Maximilian Arnold's free kick with a double head to give Wolfsburg the lead (8th), Wout Weghorst increased it to 2-0 (42nd).

Werder was playfully inferior, but came through Kevin Möhwald with the second goal finish to 1: 2 (45th).

The wolves therefore had to tremble before the well-deserved victory was perfect.
