Lewandowski is worth his weight in gold

Some people thought that Bayern had relaxed after a month without playing an official match. There were those who believed that Chelsea, stepping on the grass on which they achieved glory eight years ago, would be able to execute a heroic deed. But the reality looks very different. If the Bavarians of the 2012 final were already good, those of today are winning machines. Five months after wiping Chelsea off the map at Stamford Brigde, the Hansi Flick-led side again beat the Londoners 4-1 at the Allianz Arena, giving off a champion's own authority. Of course. From the Bundesliga. From the Pokal. And now he returns to present his candidacy for the orejona.

Kimmich played Pavard on the right back and Perisic came in for the injured Coman. The changes were hardly noticed in a team that, despite four weeks without competing, is just as smooth as before. He conveys ease in everything he does. He used to have the ball before, but under Flick's orders he has become a surgeon when it comes to placing his rivals at will and hitting them as effectively as possible. Lewandowski has a master's degree in that discipline. It took him 10 minutes to put it to the test. The Pole was left alone before Caballero, the goal blue knocked him down in the area and Lewy himself was in charge of converting the maximum penalty.

Perisic's second (this time with Lewandowski in attendance) came a quarter of an hour later and that was when Frank Lampard's pupils began to take the 90 minutes at the Bavarian Coliseum as a friendly. And it was not bad. He bothered Bayern and cut differences through Abraham (the VAR had previously canceled a goal from Hudson-Odoi), before a mistake by Neuer, causing a capital anger from Flick on the bench. Seek perfection. And he found it, as always, in Lewandowski. The killer signed his second assist, this time to a Tolisso who finished at pleasure, and closed the poker head. You are hungry for your first apricot. And he goes for her.

After the double, Lewandowski has 13 goals in the Champions League this year. He continues to lead the competition's scorers' ranking above Haaland (10) and the sextet composed of Gabriel Jesús, Sterling, Mertens, Kane, Gnabry and Depay (all 6). In the Bundesliga (34) and Pokal he was already crowned top scorer.
