Lewandowski tipped to join Messi and Ronaldo in 40-goal club as Gomez hails Bayern Munich's 'fine wine'

The former Allianz Arena frontman considers the Polish striker to sit alongside some all-time greats as an attacking talent

Robert Lewandowski is capable of emulating Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo by breaking through the 40-goal barrier in a season says Mario Gomez, with Bayern Munich's star striker considered to be aging "like fine wine".

At the age of 32, Lewandowski stands on the brink of breaking another record.

He has 39 efforts to his name in the German top-flight this season, leaving him one short of Gerd Muller's history-making haul for a single campaign and within touching distance of a mark that other all-time greats have previously hit in La Liga.
