It is when Robert Lewandowski insists he doesn't pay attention to how many goals other strikers score that you are most convinced he does.
Taking Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo out of the equation, since the start of the 2011-12 campaign, no player has scored more goals in European football than Lewandowski, who has averaged 34 per season, first with Borussia Dortmund and now Bayern Munich.
The rangy Poland international has scored 30 goals in the Bundesliga in each of the previous two seasons—a feat last achieved by Gerd Muller in the 1970s—and with 20 goals this season, he is on course to do it again.
