 Robert Lewandowski features in Bundesliga’s all-time top 10 goalscorers List.



Since its Inauguration in 1963, the Bundesliga has been home to some of football’s greatest goalscorers. Gerd Müller is the league's most successful ever in that regard with a seemingly unassailable 365 goals, but Robert Lewandowski is into the top three and by no means done yet.





Here are the Bundesliga’s all-time top 10 goalscorers:


1) Gerd Müller

Club: Bayern Munich

Goals: 365

Games: 427

Minutes per goal: 105.

In 1971/72, he set the record for goals in a single season by netting 40 times – despite missing three penalties!



2) Klaus Fischer

Club: 1860 Munich, Schalke, Cologne, Bochum

Goals: 268

Games: 535

Fischer greatest hour was when he scored four in a famous 7-0 win for Schalke over Bayern.



3) Robert Lewandowski

4) Jupp Heynckes

Club: Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hannover

Goals: 220

Games: 369

Minutes per goal: 147

5) Manfred Burgsmüller


Club: Rot-Weiß Essen, Borussia Dortmund, Nuremberg, Werder Bremen

Goals: 213

Games: 447

6) Claudio Pizarro

Club: Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich, Cologne

Goals: 197

Games: 490
