Contemporary players among the Bundesliga’s all-time goalscorers
Lewandowski is the only active player featured in the Bundesliga all-time top scorer list. Given his fruitful recent campaigns, the striker stands a good chance of soon climbing to the second spot on the list. However, with more than 130 goals between himself and Gerd Muller’s all-time record, it looks like not even Bayern Munich’s forward will be able to knock der Bomber off the summit.
Few active players are featured among the league’s all-time scorers. This is a testament to the wonderful strikers that preceded them. Of those still playing, Marco Reus is highest up the list, tied for 25th place with Dieter Hoeneß, having scored 127 times. Vedad Ibisevic trails not far behind with 125 goals to his name. Thomas Muller is the only other active player to make the Bundesliga Top 50.
