Con el título asegurado hace un par de jornadas, y un FC Augsburg a salvo del descenso, el último duelo de la temporada del Bayern Munich todavía tenía un par de cosas interesantes para ofrecer. Primero, iba a ser un día emocional y de despedida para tres baluartes: David Alaba, Jérôme Boateng y Javi Martínez, además del entrenador Hansi Flick. Pero también uno de suspenso para Robert Lewandowski, quien buscaba romper el récord de goles en una sola temporada de Bundesliga.
Forty-one — that’s all that really mattered for Bayern Munich in its season finale against Augsburg on Saturday. Sure, there were send-offs for beloved club players like David Alaba, Jérôme Boateng, Javi Martínez and coach Hansi Flick, but what Die Roten really wanted was to get Robert Lewandowski a 41st goal to break the Bundesliga single-season goals record, which had stood since 1972.
The goal finally came with the final kick of the match.
In the lower reaches of the English Football League, teams are largely comprised of journeymen. Squad turnover at this level is high, and with shorter contracts and higher financial volatility, players often play on different teams from season to season.
But few footballing nomads have ever reached the migratory magnitude that goalkeeper Josef Bursik has achieved this season. Thanks to numerous injury dilemmas at the Championship and League One level, the 20-year-old Stoke City goalkeeper has played for four different clubs in the 2020-21 campaign alone.

Los récords están para romperse. A veces pasan muchos años, pero al final alguien lo hace. ¿Un ejemplo? La máxima cantidad de goles en una temporada de la Bundesliga. En la campaña 1971/72, Gerd Müller anotó 40 veces para el Bayern Munich y puso un registro que sería muy, pero muy difícil de igualar. Sin embargo, 49 años después, alguien afinó su puntería y se puso a la altura de Der Bomber: Robert Lewandowski.
MUNICH - Bayern Munich celebrated their record-extending ninth consecutive Bundesliga title on Saturday with a 6-0 demolition of Borussia Mönchengladbach and a hat-trick from Robert Lewandowski, who edged closer to a 49-year-old scoring record.
The champions had sealed the title before kickoff following RB Leipzig's 3-2 defeat at Borussia Dortmund earlier on Saturday.
Porto scored the goal of the competition during Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg. If you’re looking for the other Chelsea vs. Porto highlights, I’m afraid to tell you that there isn’t much to see.
The Blues advanced to their first Champions League semifinal in seven years despite Porto winning 1-0 on the night. Chelsea advanced 2-1 on aggregate.
To provide a taste of how riveting the affair was, here’s a highlight of the first shot on target … in the 64th minute.
