Gunslinger Lewandowski

Direct Chronicle

In the 23rd minute, in the middle of the first half, he had already shouted three goals, a new Champions League record.

In fact, Robert Lewandowski scored them in eleven minutes, who has no end, who scores and scores, voraciously, where most are canine, in the area.

There are no secrets there for a guy who already exceeds 40 goals this season, a level from which he has not dropped in the last seven campaigns.

His performance does not decrease, on the contrary, he seems finer than ever before the rival goal and with more registers to relate not only to the goal.

In their wake, Bayern overwhelmed Salzburg (7-1) to enter the Champions League quarterfinals.

The Bavarian team went into hammer mode, with all that this represents in the mystique that surrounds it and how painful it can be for an opponent who brings together a kindergarten.

In the eleven of Salzburg only one player was over 24 years old.

They opened the game with two clear goalscoring options and let them through, first Capaldo, then Seiwald.

It was not the best day for forgiveness.

With just three defenders, two of them like Pavard and Lucas with extensive experience as full-backs, and plagued by sprinters, Bayern was an arrow.

Salzburg also has that DNA.

He wanted to look into her eyes.

He took a sovereign slap.

Lewandowski struck twice from the penalty spot through two penalties that he forced himself with two sovereign controls after two separate crosses from the left flank.

The first one had so much class that it even seemed lucky.

Just in case he almost repeated it minutes later.

The Polish star has the ability to have his back to the goal, and in the same movement control and turn to overcome his mark and face the goalkeeper.

The central Wöber ate the two tricks and sent him to the floor.

Two minutes after taking his second penalty, the triplet came, fortunate after a ball into space that the Pole entered with more faith than the goalkeeper.

With records, the what matters more and not so much the how.

There Lewandowski stays on the boards as the author of the earliest triplet in the history of the Champions League.

He beat Milan player Marco Simone by two minutes, who signed him a quarter of a century ago in a duel against Rosenborg.

Such a frenetic display settled a tie that dawned equal, enjoyable because Salzburg wanted to fight it bare-chested.

Too bare for a month of March in Munich.

Gnabry scored the fourth just after half an hour, turning the remaining hour of the game into an entertaining process and appeasing the warnings of Bayern, who rounded the score three more times through Müller, another carpanta, and Sané.

He had arrived with some doubts after having won two of the last five games, but the great German team does not miss his appointment with the best of the Champions League, a classic because in the last 14 campaigns, only in two they stayed at the gates of place among the eight best teams in the continent.
