“Robert Lewandowski is one of the greatest strikers in the history of German professional football – and a phenomenal ambassador for the Bundesliga. He has been thrilling fans around the world with his performances for years – and is getting better all the time. He provided an extraordinary demonstration of this last season, when he surpassed even Gerd Müller’s record of 40 goals in one season.
