An incredible era has come to an end at Bayern Munich with the news that one of the Bundesliga club's greatest-ever goal scorers, Robert Lewandowski, has left to embark on a new challenge at Barcelona in LaLiga.
Eight trophy-laden years after joining on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund, Lewandowski leaves Bayern after scoring 344 goals in all competitions for the Bavarian giants. Only one player in the club's history has scored more: the late, great Gerd Muller (531 goals).
The Poland captain also exits the Bundesliga at the very top of his game having finished the 2021-22 season as the German league's top scorer for the seventh time in his career -- a record he jointly holds with Muller.
