Bayern Munich Chief: Robert Lewandowski Could Beat Gerd Muller's 40-Goal Record

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has suggested Robert Lewandowski could break Gerd Muller's Bundesliga record of 40 goals in a single season.

Lewandowski netted a brace against former club Borussia Dortmund on Saturday to continue his run of scoring in every Bundesliga match this season.

Per Goal's Chris Burton, Rummenigge said:

"You can't do any better.

"I thought Gerd Muller's record was for eternity. But I think Robert is the first player who could get close and put it at risk.

"It's amazing that he scores one to three goals in each game, and of a quality to take your hat off to.
