Robert Lewandowski: Bayern star finds himself after changing shoes against Werder Bremen

In the 67th minute the moment had finally come: after Robert Lewandowski got involved in a beautiful play in the 35th minute, which led to 2-0 through Serge Gnabry (35), in the 54th minute he just hit the post. and four minutes later, Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka missed and the Pole finally scored himself when Bayern played in Bremen.

However, this hit was much more than an intermittent 3-0. On the one hand, it was his 32nd goal of the season on Matchday 25, bringing Lewandowski one step closer to Gerd Müller’s 40-goal mark, and on the other, it was his 268th goal in the Bundesliga. The Pole has caught up with Schalke legend Klaus Fischer and, along with Fischer, is now second on the all-time top scorers list behind Müller (365 goals).

And there was something more special about this goal: Lewandowski didn’t score it with the shoes he wore in the first half. While the 32-year-old wore yellow shoes in the first half, he ran across the grass with pink and black kicks after the break.

The logo on the shoes was particularly noticeable: the yellow shoes had the Puma emblem, while the Nike logo was etched on the pink and black shoes. A shoe rebrand in the middle of a game is quite unusual these days in light of individual team contracts.

Lewandowski’s Shoe Change Movie: “Sometimes he wears a Puma, sometimes Nike”

The rebrand was also a topic at the subsequent press conference with Bayern manager Hans-Dieter Flick. However, the 56-year-old was not much surprised: “It is always the same. Sometimes he wears Puma, sometimes Nike. Today it was the same.”

Apparently, the change of brand for the current world footballer has nothing special. Lewandowski doesn’t have to agree to this either. “Maybe at break he thought, ‘Ok, now I’m going to change again.’ But that is your decision. I only saw him when he was already on the court. The yellow color was no longer so on the foot. That’s why I noticed it, “said Flick.

And since the shoe change was a success this time, Flick also praised his protégé: “He scored a goal and caught up with Klaus Fischer. Congratulations to him.”

Lewandowski was happy too. After the match, he tweeted: “I am proud to have scored 268 Bundesliga goals like the legendary Klaus Fischer. I always want to help Bayern win more titles with my goals.”
