Forward Robert Lewandowski is impressing the world with his numerous goals for Barca this season. However, his record against his former club Bayern has been relatively modest.
According to statistics, Lewandowski has faced Bayern a total of 16 times while playing for Dortmund and Barca. In these 16 matches, he failed to score in 13 of them. In the remaining 3 matches, the former Dortmund striker scored 5 goals. Notably, Lewandowski has yet to record a single assist against Bayern.
While playing for Dortmund, he helped the yellow and black team win all of their first 5 encounters against Bayern. In April 2012, Lewandowski scored against Bayern, leading Dortmund to a 1-0 victory, which helped them clinch the Bundesliga title for the second consecutive time.
A month after scoring his first goal against Bayern, Lewandowski delivered one of the best performances of his career, netting a hat-trick to help Dortmund crush Bayern 5-2 in the 2011/12 DFB-Pokal final.
In the following season, Lewandowski’s Dortmund was completely overpowered by Bayern. This season, Bayern won the Bundesliga with a 25-point lead over Dortmund (91 to 66). They also defeated Dortmund in the Supercup, the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals, and the Champions League final at Wembley in 2012/13.
After scoring in the aforementioned Supercup match, Lewandowski did not find the net against Bayern in the next 9 encounters. Additionally, following his initial 5-match winning streak against Bayern, the Polish veteran only managed to score 2 more goals against them in the subsequent 11 meetings (with 2 draws and 7 losses).
