Munich [Germany]: Bayern Munich's striker Robert Lewandowski on Saturday became the highest non-German goal-scorer in a Bundesliga season as he scored a brace during Bayern’s 3-1 win over Freiburg at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich vs Freiburg match highlights All the goals came in the first half - Hansi Flick's side took the lead after just 15 minutes through Joshua Kimmich and Lewandowski made it 2-0 nine minutes later.
Lucas Holer pulled a goal back for the visitors on 33 minutes, but Lewandowski restored Bayern's two goal cushion eight minutes before the break.
Freiburg had to get something out of the game to keep their dreams of European football next season alive, but they will now have to wait another year.
Meanwhile, Lewandowski broke the record previously held by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 31-year-old boasts of 33 league goals in 30 matches this season, having netted a total of 48 times in 41 games in all competitions.
The Polish striker surpassed the previous record of 31 goals set by Gabon striker Aubameyang in 2016/17 for Borussia Dortmund before he moved to present club Arsenal the following season.

After playing their last Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg, they will meet Leverkusen in the German Cup final on July 4.
