I hope they won't be like Barca-Messi relationship. What a disaster it would be if you need this particular player to keep winning. Any team should be able to score using nearly all of their players, that's what makes it interesting.

You may be correct, team play is vital to a teams success, but even at that every team needs a key man up front to get the goals and make things happen when called upon, just as Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero, Mbappe etc does.

It's not enough if a team plays so well, but do not have a player who gives them that cutting edge, it's good for every player in a team to be able to score, but it's impossible for some to grab more than a few and that's how it is in every team, those with 1,2...5 or 9 goals a season and those with 25-30+ goals, and lewandowski is that man for Bayern without a doubt

Agree here and that is the risky play Bayern is playing since years. They fully rely on Lewandowski and trust in his body to never miss to many matches. So far this played out quite well, but tomorrow is a new day. And wheneever something serious happens to Robert, Bayern will find themselfes in troubles.

At this moment Müller would possibly the next realistic option behind Lewandowski, but not without losing a lot of quality if Kovac has to rely on him as lone striker.

Kovac can adjust the team to a tactic that a striker like Lewandowski is not needed.
This can happen with muller or any other attacking midfielder.
That's a clear advantage of bayern all these seasons...

Really? I doubt that... I really like Müller, but with him upfront they lag efficiency and the power from the wings can´t unfold much when there is no converter (Lewandowski) in the centre.

That´s also the reason why they obviously eye out for an option behind Lewandowski, that´s why the Mandzukic-rumours make sense f.e.

I am with you... Lewandowski is vital for Bayern, its crazy he was never voted player of the year in Germany by the way...
