“We have shown that we are the best team in Germany. Now we want to show that we can play even better in the Champions League” – said the Polish striker, who reached the crown of the top scorer of the German Premier League for the fifth time. On Saturday in the last match of the season with Wolfsburg (4 : 0) scored his 34th goal.
This season, Lewandowski is also the most effective Champions League player with 11 hits.
Bayern coach Hansi Flick emphasized that winning the German title is only an “intermediate goal”.
“It’s great to pick up the trophy for winning the Bundesliga, but the German championship is just an intermediate goal. I like that I don’t say: that’s all, we are satisfied. On the contrary, we are striving to achieve the next goal, ”Flick assured.
The next will be the German Cup. Bavarians will play for this trophy on July 4 with Bayer Leverkusen.
However, the main goal remains the triumph in the Champions League. Bayern reached for the double in Germany and won the Champions League only once – in 2013, under Jupp Heynckes and with the Franck Ribery duo – Arjen Robben, who were at the top of their form at the time.
For Bayern, reaching the quarterfinals should have been a formality, because they won the first match of the 1/8 final against Chelsea in London 3: 0. The rematch will take place on August 7 or 8.
Starting from the quarter-finals, all Champions League matches are to be played in Lisbon from August 12 to 23, and the individual stages of the mini-tournament will take place without a rematch. Originally, the final was to take place on May 30 in Istanbul, but the games were suspended in March because of the coronavirus.
Bayern looks great after a break due to a pandemic – he has won all ten matches. However, it may be a problem to keep in shape after a long break between the German Cup final and the Champions League games.
“We have a four-week break after the German Cup final. The coach will give the team a 12-day vacation, and then we will start preparations for the rematch from Chelsea, “said club head Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
