Goal machine: Lewandowski netted a brace as Bayern cruised to a comfortable victory

It looked for a minute as though Lewandowski would not get on the scoresheet here. A wonderful free-kick of his even struck the post prior to Coman doubling Bayern's lead, making it seem as though it just wasn't to be his day. However, he made sure that was not the case.

With 11 minutes remaining he scored his first, following up a Mats Hummels strike parried away by goalkeeper Fabricio - before securing his brace from close-range after Muller teed him up in the area.

They may not have been spectacular goals, but he has shown his capability to score any type of goal in recent seasons. His head, left, right, on the volley, from various distances - he has everything.

His brace here mean that he now has eight goals in his last seven matches across all competitions, which is a frightening goalscoring record and one likely to improve on in the coming weeks.

If Bayern are to lift this trophy again in June, it'll be mainly down to their leading goalscorer over the past two seasons - who will have a huge part to play. However, given the opportunities in important moments, he will take them. Bayern know they can rely on their Polish number nine.
