This is one of those evenings that Robert Lewandowski will remember for the rest of his life! The striker of the Polish national team went down in the history of the Champions League with the earliest completed hat-trick, and his team smashed 7: 1 and confidently advanced to the quarter-finals.
“Lewandowski put Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League”
One two Three! That was half and 11 minutes.! The captain of the Polish national team shone in Munich, thanks to which he went down in the history of the Champions League. Lewandowski completed his hat-trick 23 minutes from the start of the match. Nobody has ever done this before! The Pole broke the record held by Marco Simone from September 25, 1996. It took the Italian, who played for Milan, 24 minutes from the start of the game to score three goals against Rosenborg.
German “Bild” commented: “Three goals in 10:22 minutes: Lewandowski shows Bayern bosses”. Reporting the game, “Kicker” wrote: “Wöber dictated two penalties: Lewandowski’s hat-trick is just the beginning of Bayern’s goal gala to the quarter-finals.” In the headline of “Sport1” we read: “Bayern’s furious Gala! Unstoppable Lewandowski”, and in “Spox” journalists wrote: “7: 1! Bayern smashes Salzburg to pieces”. “Spiegel” attributes the success mainly to the Pole: “Three goals in Salzburg’s 7-1 victory: Lewandowski placed Bayern in the quarter-finals.”
Apart from the phenomenal result, the Süddeutsche Zeitung also notes that the Bavarians’ game was “a perfect answer to all questions”. Marc Hlusiak from the German Eurosport recalled, in turn, that rumors had recently appeared about the alleged Lewandowski crisis. “Before Lewandowski’s hat-trick on Tuesday evening, there were still concerns about the world’s best forward, who played two matches in a row without a goal in the Bundesliga. The last time it went through such a “drought phase” in the winter of 2019 “- wrote the journalist in the article. He quickly added that this season’s statistics absolutely contradicted the crisis.
“28 goals in 25 Bundesliga games, twelve goals in eight Champions League games, plus two goals in the Super Cup at the beginning of the season. Lewandowski already has 42 goals in 35 games for stakes and is on his way to setting new records” – emphasized Hlusiak.
“Lewandowski leads Bayern to the quarter-finals and wins” his “Golden Ball” again.
“Robert Lewandowski scores the fastest Champions League hat-trick in history. he played furiously against Salzburg “, writes the English” The Sun “.” Bayern’s steam roller crushes “Salzburg’s bulls” – we read in the Austrian “Kronen Zeitung”. Journalists of “Heute” wrote: “Defeat 1: 7! Salzburg collapses in Munich” and “Der Standard” reads directly about shame: “1: 7! Shame in Munich: Bavaria’s lesson for Salzburg.”
The Spanish media reacted in an interesting way. “Marca” stated that: “Lewandowski leads Bayern to the quarter-finals and again wins” his “Golden Ball”. “AS” also writes about the independence of the Polish national team captain: “Lewandowski is doing on his own! The Polish striker scored a hat-trick in 11 minutes to secure a victory over Salzburg, which leads Bayern to the quarter-finals – and that’s terrifying. “Mundo Deportivo reads straightforwardly:” Lewandowski is destroying the Salzburg dream! “
