We would like to congratulate all football fans who were treated to a magical moment Tuesday night. Robert Lewandowski's magical five-goal haul in nine minutes has brought joy to the usually scandal-ridden footballing world.
As our loyal followers know, this blog usually spends time lamenting the lack of a superstar club in Berlin, as this brilliant expose highlights the situation in the German capital. And our heroes from Hertha BSC were victorious on this night with an easy 2-0 win over 1. FC Koln.
But the Polish superstar Lewandowski simply was a joy to behold, performing a footballing feat that defies the laws of athletics. It was something usually produced by superstars like the NFL's Aaron Rodgers, tennis' Roger Federer and cricket's Sachin Tendulkar - all legends in their respective fields.
Lewandowski does not rate at that level but give him time. With Bayern trailing 1-0 at the half, he unleashed a master class that he could only say "was crazy." That doesn't even begin to describe it. It was out of this world, heavenly and quietly reaffirming that football can be a force for good rather than evil.
Folks, the football world and sports in general is very commercial in nature and even this blog has been forced to turn to Google ads - so watch for them. In a world where money reigns supreme, it was nice to see the joy of the game personified by one Mr. Lewandowski, who proved yet again why we all exist - because of football and the beautiful game that it is. Danke, Herr Lewandowski, danke.
