Robert Lewandowski scored his 69th goal of 2021 on Friday night to equal Cristiano Ronaldo's career-high over a calendar year.
The Portuguese scored 69 goals in 59 games for Real Madrid in 2013, when he won the second of his five Ballon d'Or.
Lewandowski left it late to reach the milestone, scoring a trademark volley with just three minutes left in Bayern Munich's 4-0 mauling of Wolfsburg.
The goal was the Polish striker's 42rd in the Bundesliga in 2021, one better than the late Gerd Muller's record of 41, which had stood since 1972.
