No Robert Lewandowski, no problem – Jamal Musiala stands tall as a future Bayern Munich superstar

Dear footballing world. For the past eight years you have never doubted the superstar of Bayern Munich. Robert Lewandowski was always the answer, the Polish striker was not just the best in the Bundesliga, he was one of the best in the world.

But after Lewandowski and his 253 goals left the building, it all felt a little different. After some choice words, Lewandowski was gone and immediately the questions started. Who is going to score the goals now? How will Bayern be able to survive without Lewandowski? That was the general mood despite the arrival of Sadio Mane.

With a quick turn he sent Patrick Wimmer and Maxence Lacroix chasing shadows, he stumbled but he didn’t fall – like most others would – he got back up, looks up, takes a moment and then seconds later the ball is in the bottom left of the Wolfsburg goal.
