Stagnation at the top of the table brings Robert Lewandowski one step closer to another Golden Shoe triumph. Even the winner’s podium is now in the sights of a Leverkusen man.
Robert Lewandowski failed to score in Bayern’s 2-2 draw at home to VfB Stuttgart, leaving him on 34 goals and 68 points. The Pole in the service of the German champions is therefore still a commanding leader. Especially as there was hardly any movement in the standings behind the defending champions, who won with 41 goals and 82 points in pre-season.
Because Lazio Roma’s Ciro Immobile (27 goals, 54 points) and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema (26/52) also came away empty-handed.
Schick’s brace in Sinsheim pays off
Movement is only behind the podium again in the field of participants: Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick, for example, was able to climb up to fourth place because he managed a brace in the Werkself’s 4-2 win at 1899 Hoffenheim. The Czech scored goals to make it 1:1 and 3:2.
PSG star Kylian Mbappé shares fourth place with Schick, while Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus Turin is sixth. Both failed to register a goal at the weekend.
From a Bundesliga perspective, there are three more players in the top 20: Dortmund’s Erling Haaland is still eighth with 21 goals and 42 points. Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku scored a brace in the 4-0 win over Augsburg and now finds himself in P12. Anthony Modeste of 1. FC Köln remained on 19 goals and slipped to 16th place.
