In a just-concluded Champions League knockout match, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with Red Bull Salzburg 1-1 away, revealing a big and small upset. Bayern is considered the biggest profiter after the Champions League knockout round. In the eight-group duel, Bayern and Salzburg Red Bull were also regarded as the group with the largest gap in strength. But it is obvious that everyone underestimated the strength of the Austrian giants.
In this game, Lewandowski, the star of Bayern, fell into a downturn. According to statistics from the well-known media SofaScore, Lewandowski scored zero shots in this game, tried to pass 4 times and succeeded 2 times. There were 31 touches, 18 passes, and 11 successes in the game, with a legendary success rate of 61%. The number of key passes is zero, the ground face is 9 times, 2 times successful, 4 times in the air, 1 time successful.
From the above data, Salzburg's tight defense against Lewandowski in this game was quite successful, completely limiting this world football man. Zero shots in the whole game created an embarrassing statistic. This is also Lewandowski's only 0 shots in the past seven seasons. Coincidentally, both games happened recently. In the last round of the Champions League group stage this season, in which Bayern defeated Barcelona 3-0, Lewandowski started and kicked 76 points, but also failed to complete a shot.
In the two consecutive Champions League games, it is not only related to the opponent's targeted defense, but also has a lot to do with Bayern's offensive line's lack of support for Lewandowski. In this game, Lewandowski has very few chances of getting the ball, and it is even more difficult to convert him to a shot or even score.
Lewandow's contract with Bayern will expire next summer. It seems that both parties have no intention of renewing the contract, so Lewandowski will most likely choose to bid farewell to the Allianz Stadium next summer. It is rumored that Lewandowski is interested in joining Real Madrid, but with the tone of Real Madrid's signing, they should be unlikely to choose Lewandowski, who is 35. The scandal between Lewandowski and Real Madrid is most likely to disgust the news that Bayern executives and Haaland have spread.
Lewandowski has accumulated strength in the past two years, surpassing Mero in one fell swoop and becoming the best in the world. Judging from the current situation, this Polish forward is still in good condition, but his age may discourage the wealthy families interested in him. This is also a problem that Lewandowski has to face in the future.
