After two seasons turning heads as one of the top scorers in the Polish top division, Robert Lewandowski signed with Borussia Dortmund in 2010. His first season in Germany he struggled adjusting to the higher level competition and scored just eight times the whole season but was part of a Dortmund squad that captured its first league title in almost a decade. With his offensive output lower than expected, some questioned whether he was good enough for the German top-flight.
In 2011-12, Lewandowski answered any questions about his Bundesliga legitimacy scoring 22 goals in league play and, more importantly, leading his club to the Bundesliga title over their rivals Bayern Munich. The following year, Lewandowski again led Dortmund in scoring, but this time, the club finished second to their rivals in league play as well as the UEFA Champions League Finals.
Lewandowski played one more season with Dortmund in 2013-14, and it was a repeat of the year before—he led the team and league in scoring with 20 goals, but came up short losing to their rivals in league play. Then, Lewandowski did the unthinkable. He left Dortmund for Bayern.

Wherever Lewandowski plays, you know there will be plenty of goals scored.
