DBasia.news – Robert Lewandowski has set a new record in the Bundesliga by notching goals in nine consecutive matches. This was done after Bayern’s 2-1 victory over Union Berlin.
Previously, the record for the longest string of goals at the start of the season in Bundesliga 1 was held by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. In the 2015-16 season, he never stopped breaking the opponent’s goal faced by Borussia Dortmund in the first eight weeks.
Successes surpassing Aubameyang’s record should be welcomed happily. However, Robert Lewandowski responded coldly. The Bayern Munich mainstay striker claimed not to think about it and had no ambition to pursue record after record.
“I’m not sure that’s a record because I don’t think too much about it,” Robert Lewandowski said after the match as quoted by the official Bundesliga website.
Furthermore, the 31-year-old said, “I don’t want my mind when the match is filled with records. I tried to forget that and wait for what happened after the match. I only focus on matches and games on the field.”
For Robert Lewandowski, the record is not very meaningful. He considered there are things far more important than that. “Of course it’s special to be able to do something like this. However, the most important thing is that we won three points,” he said again.
Thanks to the addition of one goal against Union Berlin, Robert Lewandowski is now collecting 13 goals in nine Bundesliga 1 matches. On the list of top scorers, he is far superior. Timo Werner, his closest competitor, has only been able to score six goals.
