Robert Lewandowski is the first non German to fire 30 goals in a single Bundesliga season after bagging the opener in Bayern's final league game of the 15/16 season.
The Polish striker now has 47 Bayern goals in the Bundesliga in just two seasons since signing from rivals Dortmund.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's 2011/12 record for a non German of 29 goals has now been beaten and the 30 goal mark has finally been reached by a foreigner.

The 30th goal of a title winning season for Lewandowski takes the Bayern number 9 to 121 Bundesliga goals as he closes in on Elber and Pizzaro to be the top non German marksmen in the league.

The former Dortmund favourites best campaign previously was in 2012/13 when he narrowly missed out on the Bundesliga golden boot finishing a goal behind Stefan Kiessling (25) of Leverkusen.
The following year the golden boot was awarded to Lewandowski whose 20 goals were enough to edge him beyond Mandzukic of Bayern Munich (18).

In a disappointing first season at Bayern in terms of goals the Pole could only manage a meagre 17 goals but has bounced back in style to claim the crown this term ahead of Dortmund's Gabonese striker Pierre Aubameyang.
