Robert Lewandowski didn’t wait long to call game.
Just 23 minutes into a Champions League round of 16 second leg meeting with RB Salzburg, Lewandowski gave Bayern a 3–0 lead with the earliest hat trick in the competition’s history.
Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 12th minute when his turn in the penalty area proved to be too much for RB Salzburg’s Maximilian Wöber, who brought the forward down for a penalty. Lewandowski then stepped to the spot for the penalty, which was the first of three goals in 11 minutes.
Nine minutes later, Wöber brought down Lewandowski inside the penalty box once again.
