Following braces in Bayern's 7-2 away win at Tottenham Hotspur and 2-3 away win at Olympiacos, the Poland international scored in Bayern's 2-0 home win over Olympiacos. That made the Bavarian giants one of three teams to qualify for the Round of 16 with two games to spare.
After seeing his record-breaking 11-game scoring run in the Bundesliga come to an end, Lewandowski turned his attention to the Champions League again. His 14-minute blitz at Crvena Zvezda marked the fastest quadruple in the history of the competition.

The Poland international failed to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo's feat of scoring in each of the six games in a Champions League season as he stayed on the bench in Bayern's 3-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur on Matchday 6.
With 10 goals in 5 games, Lewandowski ended a second consecutive Champions League group-stage campaign as the top-scorer.
