Top 5 records created by Robert Lewandowski in his 10 Bundesliga seasons

#2 First player to score in each of the first 11 games of a Bundesliga season

On Matchday 9 of the 2019-20 season, Lewandowski scored in a 2-1 home win over newly promoted Union Berlin to become the first player to score in each of the first nine games of a Bundesliga season.

Lewandowski would extend his scoring record to 11 before Dusseldorf became the first Bundesliga team in 2019-20 to not concede against the prolific marksman.

#1 Becomes the 3rd highest scorer in Bundesliga history

Lewandowski scored Bayern's opener in the Bavarian side's 3-1 win over Freiburg on Matchday 15 of the 2019-20 Bundesliga season to create more Bundesliga history.

The prolific marksman overtook former coach Jupp Heynckes' tally of 220 Bundesliga goals to take the outright third spot in the all-time scoring list in German top-flight history.

Next in Lewandowski's sight is Klaus Fischer's mark of 268 Bundesliga goals, which is the most in the history of the competition behind top-scorer Gerd Muller's tally of 365 goals.
