Lewandowski receives FOUR awards from Guinness Book of Records after five-goal blitz


Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski has had his record-breaking five-goal haul against Wolfsburg officially honoured by the Guinness Book of Records.
The striker, 27, came off the bench to score five times in eight minutes and 59 seconds in September’s Bundesliga match, breaking four world records. He has scored the most goals by a substitute in the Bundesliga (five) and the fastest Bundesliga hat-trick. It was also the fastest four goals in the league and the fastest to five
Upon receiving the awards from Guinness World Records, Lewandowski said: "When you are a young player I never dared to dream about something like this, to score five goals in nine minutes. But it happened. I did it.
"I don't know if anybody else will be able to repeat this. I never thought about it, but I did it. Everything has to come together; timing, luck, fitness, form and the match itself. Of course I would like it if this was never to be repeated again. In this moment I am just happy that these four records belong to me now."
The Poland striker, who has scored 26 goals in 25 appearances for club and country this season, is planning to donate the boots he wore on the night to charity.
