The FIFA Best Men's Player made it a record 18 away goals in the Bundesliga when hitting the target against Mainz in a 3-1 reverse for Bayern on Matchday 32 and made sure of topping the scoring charts for fifth year in a row - and seventh time overall - by hitting his 35th of the campaign on the final day.

Patrik Schick ended the season just a goal shy of Stefan Kießling's Leverkusen single-season record of 25 goals. What made that all the more impressive is the fact the Czech forward was sidelined with an injury for a significant spell of the campaign.
