Robert Lewandowski suffering worst goal drought in 12 years

Image
"Before Barcelona I was a machine," Robert Lewandowski reflected earlier this season, "here I have become more human." For years at Borussia Dortmund and then throughout his entire Bayern Munich tenure, Lewandowski was the high-spec example of the ultimate goalscorer. Constantly in search of another software update, no gain was too marginal for a striker who does concentration exercises on his days off and eats pudding before his main course because sugars digest quicker than protein. However, the sands of time are beginning to be catching up even to the man hailed by Pep Guardiola as "the most professional player I've ever met". Lewandowski toiled away at the tip of Barcelona's blunt attack for 90 ineffective minutes against Shakhtar Donetsk in a limp 1-0 Champions League defeat on Tuesday. It was his sixth consecutive club appearance without a goal, Lewandowski's longest scoring drought in more than 12 years. Robert Lewandowski has failed to

When will Harry Kane end his trophy drought?

We all know that there are a number of ways to measure the success of a career, but the one way that is most commonly used is trophies. For that reason, certain players or teams that are known to be excellent can be written off by many due to the lack of trophies that they have won, and Harry Kane is certainly an example of this. He has spent the majority of his career as one of the best strikers in the world, and at times, perhaps the best. Despite that, he has not won a single major trophy for club or country. This is largely down to playing for Tottenham, a team that last collected silverware - a League Cup - in 2008. Now that Kane has rocked up at Bayern Munich, the assumption was that it would not take long at all for him to get his first trophy. There were four on offer at the start of the season, but the two easiest to win have already alluded Kane and Bayern Munich, so when will he actually end his trophy drought? Here are the four club trophies that were available to Kane at t
