Bundesliga, individual title race

(Baonghean.vn) - Right from the start of the Bundesliga, it was almost certain that Bayern Munich would win the 5th championship. Therefore, it is only interesting in the individual title races, especially when the player who becomes the top scorer means the path to the Allianz Arena is shortened.

This year, Dortmund is only ranked 3rd in the Bundesliga, 18 points behind Bayern Munich. But coach Thomas Tuchel still has the right to be proud when his favorite student, main striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, won the individual title of "Top scorer" in a spectacular way.

The Gabonese striker has scored 31 goals after 34 rounds in the Bundesliga this season, one goal more than the second-placed Lewandowski, a striker of Bayern Munich.

Before round 34, Lewandowski was the leader in the scoring list with 30 times and only had to face Freiburg - a weak opponent so there was a great chance of winning the Golden Boot. Meanwhile, Aubameyang only had 29 goals and did not have good support satellites like Lewandowski at Bayern Munich.

Remember, Lewandowski was previously the Bundesliga's top scorer in the 2013/2014 season (20 goals) and 2015/2016 season (30 goals). The last time Lewandowski lost this title was in the 2014/2015 season.

Frankfurt's 32-year-old veteran Alexander Meier was crowned Bundesliga's top scorer with 19 goals, surpassing big stars like Robert Lewandowski and Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben (both with 17 goals). The Frankfurt midfielder has been out for a long time due to injury. Meier has only needed 26 appearances this season to score 19 goals.

Dortmund entered the Weder Bremen match in a relaxed mood because they had basically completed their goal of qualifying for the Champions League next season. In the end, Dortmund had a dramatic 4-3 victory, with Aubameyang scoring a brace.

Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski ironically failed to score in Bayern Munich's resounding 4-1 win over Freiburg. The Polish striker had a number of good chances to add to his tally, but Freiburg goalkeeper Schwolow did not give him a single chance.

With 31 goals, Aubameyang is officially the top scorer in the Bundesliga this year. Following Aubameyang and Lewandowski is Cologne striker Anthony Modeste with 25 goals. In 4th place is young player Timo Werner of RB Leipzig, who is participating in the Bundesliga for the first time, with 21 goals.

Wolfsburg's veteran striker Mario Gomez has also had an impressive record this season with 16 goals. Senior Lewandowski, after becoming the Bundesliga's top scorer with Dortmund, then moved to Bayern Munich. I wonder if that will happen to Aubameyang?
