Robert Lewandowski said on Tuesday that achieving the ‘sextete’, his sixth trophy in less than 9 months, would crown a historic career, “the icing on the cake”. Bayern will face Mexico's Tigres UANL on Thursday in the Club World Cup final after defeating Egypt's Al Ahly in the semifinals 0-2 on Monday, who will fight for third place against Palmeiras (who lost 1-0 his 'semi' against Tigres).
Lewandowski decided Bayern's move to the final by scoring a double. In the Bundesliga, the Polish forward, winner of the FIFA The Best award, has already scored 24 goals. “Winning the Club World Cup would be the icing on the cake,” Lewandowski said at a virtual press conference. “We can write a page in our history, but it is also a great challenge. When you are so close to a title, you want to win it, “said the scorer.
Bayern have already won the Champions League, European Super Cup, Bundesliga, German Cup and Super Cup. They are the leaders in the current Bundesliga, with a 7-point advantage over Leipzig. It must be remembered that Barcelona, led by Pep Guardiola, already achieved the ‘sextete’ in 2009.
“This final means that we can win the sixth title. That means a lot to the history of football. We want to win every game and every title, “said Lewandowski.
