BERLIN: A touching gesture followed the 40th goal of this season of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski in their 2-2 Bundesliga draw against SC Freiburg. After having equalled the 49-year-old Bundesliga record of legendary German striker Gerd Muller, the 32-year-old Pole lifted his playing shirt showing an undershirt with a print of Muller's face and the written message: "4ever Gerd", reports Xinhua.
Muller's record of 40 goals in 34 matches was set in the 1971-72 season. He is the all-time leading goal scorer of the German league. IANS
