Robert Lewandowski is currently on pace for 62.1 Bundesliga goals. Nine goals in five Bundesliga games have been a tremendous output. It is, however, not just Lewandowski’s output that has put a smile on Bayern’s decision-makers but also his partnership with Philippe Coutinho.

Furthermore, the Bavarians knew that a player of Lewandowski’s quality could not be replaced on the transfer market. The club signed the striker on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2014. Lewandowski’s current transfer value is , according to Transfermarkt. But given market mechanisms that saw players like Cristiano Ronaldo move for around £100 million, suggests that Lewandowski, and a potential replacement, would cost far more on the open market.
Now 31 years of age, Lewandowski knows that the number of years for him to win the Champions League is limited. Hence, Lewandowski was outspoken all summer about Bayern needing to sign players to help him reach his ambitions. “We need to sign four new players,” Lewandowski said after the Bayern lost 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund on Aug. 3.

Unplayable at times Coutinho seemed comfortable to play both off Lewandowski but also dropping deep to play in the number 8 role.
