Robert Lewandowski is already a Bundesliga legend. The Polish striker in the ranks of Bayern Munich finished the season in the Bundesliga with a total of 34 goals and was crowned top scorer in the German competition for the fifth time in his career. Only Gerd “El Torpedo” Müller remains above Lewy, having been proclaimed pichichi on seven occasions. As for the scoring figure, the same: only Müller scored more goals in a course. He went on to score 36, 38 and even 40 in 71/72, a historical record and unsurpassed in Germany to date.
But Lewandowski is chasing more challenges this season. In addition to dreaming about the treble, the Bayern striker wants to continue beating records at the individual level. He wants to fasten the Golden Boot and, at the moment, leads the race for the award that rewards the best striker on the European league scene. Of course, things can change, since his main rival still has many games ahead to match and even beat the star of Munich. This is Ciro Immobile, striker for Lazio, who has 28 goals (six fewer than Lewandowski) with ten games to go before the end of Serie A.
It would be the second time since 2009 that neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo end up placing the Golden Boot in their windows. In 2016 it was Luis Suárez who took the trophy, in all other editions the Argentine and Portuguese were victorious. This time, the two cracks are in fifth and sixth position, respectively. Messi has 21 goals (in the absence of six days to close LaLiga) and CR7 23, with the same ten days to play in Serie A as Immobile. Erling Haaland (29) and Timo Werner (28) are above both, but will not be able to overtake Lewandowski as the Bundesliga has closed the curtain. Immobile, yes.
