""I knew I'd scored the goals, but Thomas Muller pushed me to the fans after the game and I was like, 'Why?' OK, we won and I scored the goals, but I didn't think I'd done something historic," Lewandowski shared in the interview. "During those nine minutes, I think I was somewhere else; I didn't think about how many minutes it took, or how many goals I scored."
"When I scored the first, I was thinking, 'OK, it's 1-1, you need a second'. After the second, 'OK, you need a third, then we'll be sure we're going to win'. Then I scored the third and the fourth and the fifth, but I still didn't think about how many goals I'd scored because I was looking for the next opportunity."
Scored five goals within a nine-minute span and was urged by a teammate to join the fans after the match. Felt mentally elsewhere during those nine minutes and did not track how long it took or how many goals were scored. After the first goal the immediate aim was a second; after the second the aim became a third to secure the win. Continued to pursue scoring opportunities through the third, fourth and fifth goals while remaining concentrated on play rather than on the achievement itself.
