Hat-trick hero Robert Lewandowski hailed the strength of Bayern Munich’s squad after securing a 3-0 victory over Schalke on Saturday, as new signing Philippe Coutinho made his Bundesliga debut for the German giants.
Bayern, who have not lost to Schalke in the league since 2010, took the lead from a penalty on 20 minutes.
English right-back Jonjoe Kenny, on loan to Schalke from Everton, clattered into the back of Kingsley Coman, and Lewandowski slotted home from 12 yards to score against Schalke for the ninth game in a row.
The Polish striker then curled in a spectacular free-kick to double the lead just after halftime.
A resurgent Schalke had several handball penalty appeals turned down as Bayern struggled to maintain control in the second half.
Yet Lewandowski killed the game off 15 minutes from time, slipping away from marker Salif Sane to complete the seventh Bundesliga hat-trick of his career.
“The expectations are always growing, but I always try to get better,” said Lewandowski. (SuperSport)
