It was meant to be his night. He was playing the European champion at the Allianz Arena and started out as a steamroller. His double before minute 10 augured a game hangover full of praise, praise and covers. But Lewandowski arrived.
The Pole responded to his double with a hat-trick that left his overwhelming start to nothing. That is why television did not take its eyes off him. First with a shot as soon as Bayern scored the 2-2 that equaled his double and, at the end of the game when he had already retired due to injury, his face on the bench was a poem even when Flick came to greet him.
Quite a champion winning character from someone who hates to lose.
