Lewandowski has been regarded as the best out-and-out striker in Europe for some time now.
He has scored an incredible 230 times in 275 games for Bayern over less than six seasons.
And Lewandowski was almost as prolific during four years at Borussia Dortmund with 103 strikes in 187 appearances.
He has won a slew of trophies during his time in Germany, including SEVEN Bundesliga titles, three German Cups and four German Supercups.
But he could have been claiming silverware in Spain had Ronaldo and Ramos successfully convinced him to swap the Allianz Arena for the Santiago Bernabeu.
Lewandowski admitted he was flattered by their desire to play alongside him, but he had no intention of leaving Bayern after reaching his full potential with the Bavarians.
Lewandowski told Sport: “Yes [Ronaldo and Ramos asked me to join Real].
“You can go to the Spanish league or to one in another country, another great club.
“But for me it was not the most important thing. Where I am I have been able to reach my maximum level and I want to continue doing well.
“I am at one of the best clubs in the world and I know I can be happy here.
“We are at a very high level, from the playing squad to the sporting facilities.
“It’s all much easier when playing for a club like this.”
