Polish striker Robert Lewandowski celebrates his 37th birthday today, August 21, marking another milestone in a career that has left an indelible mark on world football. Widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of his generation, Lewandowski’s name has become synonymous with goals, records, and consistency across the Bundesliga, La Liga, and the Champions League.
Fans around the globe will never forget his astonishing 2019/2020 season with Bayern Munich, where he scored 55 goals in all competitions, leading his club to a historic treble of the Bundesliga, German Cup, and Champions League. That year, Lewandowski was the overwhelming favorite for the Ballon d’Or, only for the award to be controversially canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic—leaving what many believe to be a glaring gap in football history.
Even as he turns 37, Lewandowski continues to inspire young players with his professionalism, discipline, and relentless pursuit of excellence. While the Ballon d’Or may have eluded him, his legacy as one of football’s most complete forwards remains untouchable, and his birthday is a reminder to celebrate not just his goals, but the unforgettable moments he has gifted the sport.
