Robert Lewandowski once again proved he is the best number nine in current football as the Polish star bagged a brace of goals and assists in a 4-1 (aggregate 7-1) victory against Chelsea in their second-leg Champions League fixture on Saturday at Allianz Arena.
Frank Lampard's Chelsea entered Bayern's territory with a 0-3 deficit, and much to their dismay, their wounds only deepened after the German side ended the clash with a 7-1 aggregate win.
It took just 10 minutes for Bayern to gain the lead as Lewandowski converted a penalty and took his goal tally to 46 in the season.
The Blues, who were without César Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Jorginho, Billy Gilmour, Pedro, Willian and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, saw Bayern double the lead as Ivan Perisic scored past Willy Caballero, owing to a clever pass from Lewandowski.
Just before the halftime whistle, Tammy Abraham pulled one back for Chelsea. But that did not let Bayern stop their dominance as the German side went on to score two more goals before the game ended 4-1.
It was the Corentin Tolisso, on as a substitute, who scored the third goal, owing to another assist from Lewandowski. The Polish then went to score his second of the night and put the final nail in the coffin.
