Lewandowski 5 Goals in 9 Minutes Leaves Guardiola Holding His Head – TBT #15

It’s September 22nd, 2015. The reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich face the well-known German club Wolfsburg in a regular season game.  

The referee, Tobias Stieler, blows the whistle, and the match begins. Bayern starts the game strong with a few chances, but they didn’t score any goals. Then, Wolfsburg’s Daniel Caliguri silences Bayern’s fans, scoring a beautiful goal off of Julian Draxler’s pass. The 1st half ends with Wolfsburg leading 0-1. Pep Guardiola, Bayern’s manager, decides it’s time to make some changes, and he subs in the prolific striker Robert Lewandowski at half-time. 

It turns out that Pep made a good call since Lewandowski already managed to score a goal in the 51st minute after poking the ball into the left corner from the center of the box. 

The Polish wastes no time, and he scores a 2nd goal just a minute later, firing a superb shot in the right corner from outside of the box. 

In the 55th minute, Lewandowski scores a hat-trick after putting the ball into the net from the center of the box. 

Then, in the 57th minute, the Polish scorer scores a masterful strike with the help of a cross from Douglas Costa. 

Then came the 60th minute, and Lewandowski scored his 5th goal of the game after firing a breathtaking volley in the back of Benaglio’s net. Pep Guardiola holds his head in disbelief as he witnesses history. 

On that night, Lewandowski broke the record for the fastest five goals in the history of football.
