After almost a month’s Christmas break, the Bundesliga is finally back. The 18th series of games will officially start on Friday evening, and in the first game Bayern Munich will host Borussia Moenchengladbach at their own stadium. The meeting promises to be very interesting, especially if we remember how the previous clash of both teams ended. It was then that in the 1/16 finals of the German Cup, Julian Nagelsmann’s team lost as much as 0: 5.
What did Lewandowski do? The opponents’ defenders could not believe it
On the occasion of the Friday game between Bayern Munich and Borussia Moenchengladbach, it is worth recalling another meeting of these teams, which took place in 2014. Both teams then faced each other at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg in a Telecom Cup match. It was the very beginning of Robert Lewandowski’s adventure in a Bavarian club.
The Pole showed off in that match with a beautiful hit, which gave the team from Munich the lead. Lewandowski took over the ball in the penalty area, which was reflected by the goalkeeper of Borussia after Sebastian Rode’s shot. The striker made a few feints that completely twisted the defenders and lobbed a completely confused Janis Blaswich. The Bavarian fans went crazy with joy.
The game ended in regulation time with a score of 2: 2, so penalty kicks were needed. Bayern players triumphed 5: 4 in them. Will Lewandowski also show his hit on Friday evening? So far, he has been doing rather average in meetings with Borussia Moenchengladbach. In 20 matches played with this opponent, he scored seven goals.
