What stats are this? Lewy has 35 Bundesliga goals - 6 were penalties. That does not count other competitions. Haaland has 21 - 1 or 2 penalties included.
Yes, Lewy scores goals that sometimes look easy, but a lot is about timing and positioning. And to know and read what your teammates do. Who has seen the matches and not just the highlights has e.g. seen how agressive and smart the players have in parts won the ball. Even better players than Stuttgarts got forced to lose balls in that situation.
The only question about this Bayern team this year is why they need to be triggered so much by handicaps like goals against or red cards.
