Bayern Munich: Euro 2016 Flops Lewandowski and Muller Back at Best in Bremen Win

Bayern Munich sent nine of their star players to Euro 2016 earlier this summer, and among them were some of those most expected to make an impression on the tournament. Robert Lewandowski, who had led all scorers with 13 goals for Poland in qualifying and had scored 42 in all competitions for Bayern during the 2015-16 campaign, was one of them. Another was Thomas Muller, who had recorded 32 goals in all competitions in the previous season.

The goal hauls for both players during the 2015-16 campaign were career highs. And having been so prolific for their respective countries prior to the Euros, it was expected they would stand out at the tournament in France. What actually transpired left much to be desired.

Lewandowski didn’t have a shot on goal until the round of 16, despite having plenty of chances to score. He finally found the net with his only goal of the tournament in the quarter-final with Portugal, but it wasn’t enough to send his team to the next round. There were many players in the Poland squad who played better in France than the captain Lewandowski, of whom so much more was expected.
