Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the most successful modern team in German soccer. Since superstar goal scorer Robert Lewandowski joined the club in 2014, the Reds have won the Bundesliga three times (2016, 2018, 2019).
More impressively, they’ve failed to qualify for the Champions League Semifinals just two times (2017, 2018) — winning the arguable biggest international soccer tournament in the world (save for the World Cup) in 2020. It’s inarguable consistency that should be appreciated.
But for as much success as they’ve had recently, and for all the goals Lewandowski scores as the most prolific European scorer ever, eventually, your window slams shut. You lose your spark, and all seems lost.
