Robert Lewandowski has been hailed as the Best Bundesliga Player of the 21st Century by Goal.com, cementing his place in football history. The Polish striker’s remarkable career in Germany spanned over a decade, featuring extraordinary success with Borussia Dortmund and most notably with Bayern Munich.

Lewandowski’s dominance in the Bundesliga was defined by his incredible consistency, unmatched goal-scoring prowess, and ability to shine on the biggest occasions. With 312 Bundesliga goals to his name, he is second only to Gerd Müller in the league’s all-time scoring charts. Highlights of his career include his unforgettable five goals in nine minutes against Wolfsburg in 2015, and multiple Golden Boot awards that showcased his supremacy.

Beyond the statistics, Lewy’s influence on the league was profound, shaping Bayern Munich’s era of dominance and redefining what it means to be a modern striker. Goal.com’s recognition of his achievements reflects his records and his iconic moments that resonate with football fans worldwide.

Now leading Barcelona’s line, Lewandowski continues to prove his class. “RL9” is currently leading the race for the Pichichi with 14 goals in La Liga so far. All eyes will be on him on 26 November, when Barcelona hosts Brest in the UEFA Champions League. On this occasion, the Pole is expected to reach another milestone by becoming the third player (after Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi) to reach 100 goals in this prestigious competition.
