Lewandowski is the best No.9 in the world and Kimmich will be a legend, claims Bayern team-mate Javi Martinez

Robert Lewandowski is the number one striker in the world and is in the best form of his career, Bayern Munich team-mate Javi Martinez says.

With 43 goals from 37 appearances in all competitions, Lewandowski has already matched his best tally in a single season in professional football.

While Bayern are closing in on an eighth consecutive Bundesliga title, the 31-year-old is on course to be crowned the division's top scorer for the fourth time in his career, though RB Leipzig star Timo Werner is just four goals behind with five games left to play.
