Robert Lewandowski looked like the happiest man on Earth after his history-making strikes for Bayern Munich on Saturday.
The prolific Pole hugged teammates and coaching staff after netting his 15th and 16th goals of the season in the 4-0 drubbing of Borussia Dortmund at Allianz Arena to surpass a Gerd Mueller record that had stood for over 50 years.
German legend Mueller had netted 15 times in Bayern's first 11 games in the 1968-69 season, with Lewandowski, who has 23 goals in all competitions this season, becoming the first player in Bundesliga history to score in 11 consecutive matches.
