The 17th round of the Bundesliga will begin on Friday evening. In the first installment of this series of matches, Bayern Munich will host VfL Wolfsburg at its own stadium. The hosts will want to strengthen their lead in this game. The guests, on the other hand, will want to end the disastrous streak of five league games in a row without a victory.
A great feat of Robert Lewandowski. “I have no idea what happened”
Friday’s meeting will also be a great opportunity not only to increase the already considerable goal score this season, but also to repeat the remarkable achievement from six years ago. Exactly on September 22, 2015, the Pole scored five goals in nine minutes in the match of the 6th round of the Bundesliga, also played at the Allianz Arena!
Lewandowski was not even supposed to play in this match. However, the then Bayern coach Pep Guardiola did not predict that his team would be losing 0: 1 until the break. For this reason, contrary to the original assumption, he let the Pole on the pitch right after the break, and then he could only bathe his head.
– People ask me “what happened?” And I say “I have no idea!” Not everything is explainable. I have never experienced a similar situation before – neither as a football player nor as a coach. Five goals in nine minutes … For some time, Robert has been a star not only in Germany, but all over the world – he said then.
Lewandowski himself spoke in a similar vein. – What happened then is still difficult for me to explain. It was that day, this match and those goals that will remain in my memory for a long time and will be remembered in the history of football – admitted the Pole after a few years in an interview with the official profile of Bayern Munich. “If anyone would ask me what the most important goals were for me, it was definitely the whole game against Wolfsburg and those five goals in nine minutes.” Not just one goal, but all five. You could say that it was a very important game and not only because I scored five goals in nine minutes. This game was important because Wolfsburg was in good shape then – he added.
