The 49-year-old Bundesliga goal scoring record of Gerd Muller, which at one point seemed untouchable, has fallen. Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski set a new record on Saturday, reaching 41 league goals in Bayern's 5-2 win over Freiburg. Lewandowski got the goal for the champs in the 90th minute, setting a new mark and breaking the one set by the other Bayern legend back in 1972.
Here is the moment:
THERE IT IS!!!

Lewandowski finished the game with nine shots, five of which were on target.
