Robert Lewandowski terrorized defenders and goalkeepers dreaded him for his inch-perfect accuracy in front of goal in the German Bundesliga.

The 34-year-old Polish goal-wizard is universally considered one of the best finishers in the history of football, owing to his outrageous goal-to-game ratio.

Lewandowski has been racking up goals with rampant rapidity since his formative years in the Polish lower tiers before rising to the top flight with Lech Poznan.

In no time, he moved to the Bundesliga and became a household name in the German elite division first with Borussia Dortmund before crossing carpets to Bayern Munich.

He made goalscoring in the German top-flight appear easy while tearing records into shreds including one of the most incredible feats the legendary Gerd Muller would be proud of back in 2015.

On this day (September 22) in 2015, Lewandowski climbed off the bench with Bayern trailing 0–1 to Wolfsburg to turn the tie in favour of the Bavarians at a rate never seen before.

Currently, playing for FC Barcelona, the Poland striker scored five goals in 8 minutes and 59 seconds, the fastest by any player in Bundesliga history, to help Bayern record a 5–1 comeback win.
