Lewy eyes another milestone

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski can achieve another milestone on Friday in his club's last game of 2021 as the Bundesliga leaders look to extend Wolfsburg's miserable six-match losing streak.

With another goal, Lewandowski can claim a new record for most goals scored in German league football during a calendar year.

He scored twice in Tuesday's rout of Stuttgart to draw level with Gerd Mueller, who scored a record 42 goals over 12 months back in 1972.

Lewandowski loves to score against Wolfsburg, netting 23 goals in 15 games against Wolves, the most he has scored against any club in Germany's top flight.

That tally includes the five Lewandowski hit in nine jaw-dropping minutes when he came off the bench to steer Bayern to a 5-1 victory and claim a host of records in September 2015.

Bayern are buoyed by winning the last six games in all competitions, including beating second-placed Bundesliga rivals Dortmund, then Barcelona to seal a perfect six wins from six Champions League group stage games.
