Lewandowski fanboys always come back with "But he scores X amount of goals in the Champions League" blah blah.
1) He plays for Bayern, who are constantly one of the top 3 teams in the world, and 2) You can also play some bang average to dog shit sides in the Champions League group stages. It's not like you have to play City, Liverpool or PSG every game.
The fact is, and nobody can argue otherwise, Lewandowski has played in a third rate competition most of his career. And before that he played and scored goals in the Polish league, where the goalkeepers are probably full-time milkmen and the defenders work in their local Co-operative's.
If he does leave Bayern he might as well join Fulham and go and rip up the Championship. Why break precedent?
I am not Lewandowski fanboy. Not even close to it. I just follow more football than only English game. I am emotionally and in every other possible way more attached to Kane. He is one of our own. And he is technically very-very good. He sees passing chances and is able to execute those passes really superbly as well. It is a great asset to have.
It is true that level of opposition varies in CL as well. There are smaller teams than just top 4 from EPL, LaLiga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. But may I remind that in EPL we also have Norwich, Newcastle and other such wank?!? Across such number of games those differences will even out. It is true that not all games are against Real, PSG and Liverpool, but you cannot keep that kind of scoring ratio up only by scoring against weak teams. Furthermore - I even pointed out that in 19/20 he scored a goal in every single match except the final. That run included scoring 2 against us, 3 goals + 4 assists (!!) against Chelsea, 1 goal + 1 assist against Barca and 1+1 again against Lyon.
If we look at whole of his playing career, he has
26 goals + 3 assists against Dortmund
8 goals against RB Leipzig (that totally dominated us in Europe, if you recall)
6 goals + 1 assist against Real Madrid (8 games)
5 goals against Bayern
4 goals + 4 assists against Woolwich (8 games)
4 goals + 2 assists against Barca (6 games)
3 goals + 5 assists against Chelsea
2 goals against Atletico and Spurs
With 3rd paragraph you are just embarrasing youself. It is true that no one can argue otherwise that Bundesliga is nowhere near third rate league. Only some hillbilly-like brits could be stupid enough to claim that. I mean I love EPL - it's tempo and close games and surprises etc. But Bundesliga is 4th strongest league in Europe according to UEFA's coefficent. It is true that currently other top teams in Bundesliga are not doing very well - RB Leipzig went through large change when Nagelsmann moved from RBL to Bayern, also they lost some key players. Dortmund does have Haaland but as a whole team has not been on the level it used to be like 6 years back.
But there are always fluctuations, if EPL would be so damn superior and so many lightyears ahead of every league, then I'd expect them to win it on yearly basis, right? But then again as recently as 2012-2013 until 2016-2017 there was 5 year period where no English team even made it to the final. And in fact during the same period there were teams in finals from Germany, Spain and Italy. And during the same time Bundesliga's 2nd club Dortmund made it there, La Liga's 3rd team Atletico made it to finals TWICE. Other suspects as usual - Real, Barca, Juventus, Bayern. So based on that period would you say that EPL level was much lower than top 3 teams in La Liga and top 2 teams in Bundesliga? Didn't think so. Right now EPL is in strong position with two out of last 3 seasons final was between English teams. Most likely at some point this tide will turn once more.
99-04 - 0 English teams in CL finals
04-09 - always at least one English team in finals
09-12 - in 2 out of 3 finals EPL was represented
12- 17 - 0 English teams in CL finals
18-21 - English teams in 3 out of 4 finals
Thats how it goes. I wouldn't say that in 12-17 EPL was "3rd rate competition" just because no team made it to final. And now I wouln't similarly say that all other world is shit cause from 18-21 EPL teams have dominated.
I personally don't know what future holds for Lewa. But I believe that it is not out of ordinary that good players play for strong clubs. All I know is that Lewa has been extremely consistent in his performances in both - Europe and in domestic league. He has CL winner title (where as I mentioned - he carried Bayern almost on his own) and 2 FIFA "Best player" awards (+ should have had 1 Ballon d'Or that was not given out that year).
