After the match, Lewandowski called for the team to keep their momentum going when club play resumes later this month. Flick reflected on Lewandowski's performance, noting that it reminds him of their time together at Bayern Munich.

He praised Lewandowski's ability to find space and score, stating, "He’s the same player I remember from Bayern Munich; in the penalty area, he’s the best."

With his impressive start to the season, Lewandowski is on pace to surpass 20 league goals again, aiming to improve upon last season's total of 19.

The Polish striker expressed disappointment over a dip in his scoring consistency, as he had not scored fewer than 20 league goals since the 2014/15 season.
