Lewandowski celebrates scoring against Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League

Robert Lewandowski broke the hearts of Borussia Dortmund fans when he decided to join their bitter rivals Bayern Munich when his contract expired at Signal Iduna Park in 2014. The Polish striker has been a success for the Bavarians breaking records and creating new ones as well.

Lewandowski had a record-breaking cameo in a 2015-2016 season match against Wolfsburg where he scored five goals in 9 minutes after coming as a second-half substitute, and has gone to score astonishing 139 goals in 181 appearances for the Bavarians.

The Polish striker has been integral in Bayern Munich Bundesliga dominance as they have won 5 consecutive Bundesliga titles. Lewandowski could be hoping to lead Bayern Munich to their first Champions League title since 2013 as he already has 5 goals in 6 Champions League appearances this season and 29 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions.

Lewandowski's goalscoring exploits have seen him being linked with a move to Real Madrid in the previous transfer windows. The Polish superstar recently hired a new agent fueling speculation that he could be seeking a move away from Allianz Arena.

If he manages to seal a move to Real Madrid, then he will be an instant hit a worthy replacement for Benzema but in the short term.
