The former Borussia Dortmund striker put on a five-star display on 22 September 2015 that even left the then manager Pep Guardiola stunned, who was pictured with his hands over his head in astonishment of what he had just witnessed.

The Pole scored the fastest five-goal haul in a major European league since Opta started recording stats, in just under nine minutes, to cement his place in the record books.

To really understand how significant this achievement is, we need to take a quick recap of the events that occurred that day. The Polish striker was on the field for less than six minutes before he equalized for the Bavarian giants in the second half, who had conceded a goal in the first half.

The following nine minutes were pure magic and the time could've been even lesser, if celebrations would've been cut short, but it's not their fault as nobody could've predicted the Pole's insane record-breaking exploits in advance.
