In the Champions League match on Saturday, Robert Lewandowski played brilliantly against Chelsea and Leon Goretzka was amazed to see the standout performance of the 31-year-old, given the confident nature of the Bayern Munich striker in preparation.
“He is a phenomenon, indeed,” Goretzka told Sport1.
“I thought to myself when I saw how he trained last week: ‘Should I talk to him about why he’s not running?’ But he only said: ’Keep calm! Saturday is important.’”
He continued: “[Winning the treble] is basically our target, but it’s a really unique challenge, it has a bit of a European Championship or World Cup atmosphere, so we’re very heated and looking forward to the trip.”
Scoring 13 times this season in the Champions League, Lewandowski is four times short of Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for most goals in a single campaign.
