At 32, Lewandowski enjoyed the most productive season of his career to date. In 47 appearances for Bayern, Lewandowski found the target on 55 occasions.
In the 2020 calendar, he scored 26 goals in as many games and has gone on to claim a UEFA Super Cup triumph in the early weeks of the current campaign.
His contribution was expected to make him a leading contender for the Ballon d’Or, but the awarding of that gong has been scrapped by France Football amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
