Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski: I've not yet peaked

Bayern Munich goal machine Robert Lewandowski insists he hasn't yet reached his peak.

The 31-year-old striker has scored 45 goals across all competitions this season.

Asked about winning the Ballon D'Or award, the Pole told France Football: "I was at the award ceremony last December.

"We'll see. What I try to do is to always show the best of myself, win trophies and score more goals. But that's something that comes with collective trophies. That's the most important thing.

"I don't even think about the Ballon d'Or, even if, in my life, I believe that anything is possible.

"I am not yet in the best period of my career. Soon (I'll be). But all of these are just numbers. I am confident that the best moment of my career will come quickly. I know this is not my last contract. I want to play longer and stay in shape.

"I have all the time in front of me to think about the future, but I feel really good. I'm going to celebrate my 32th birthday next August, but that doesn't mean that I feel this age.

"For me, it doesn't matter in terms of everything I do, my involvement in and outside of football. What I want is not just staying on top for the next two or three years, I'm looking at the longer term."
