Record breaking strikers 

The Polish striker and the Norwegian have both set records during their stints in German football in the Bundesliga. The Barça striker set a record in the 2020/21 season, scoring 41 goals in 29 matches. Lewandowski managed to score 43 goals in a calendar year, breaking two records formerly held by legendary striker Gerd Müller. 

With Borussia Dortmund, Haaland averaged a goal every 87 minutes and also became the youngest player ever to reach 20 goals in the Champions League. Lewandowski, in Germany, became the youngest player to reach 100 goals. 

The two number 9s are in form in the current campaign with Lewandowski having scored in the Gamper against Pumas and nabbing two in the win at Real Sociedad. Haaland has also started well at his new club under Pep Guardiola, scoring four goals already.
