Senne Lynen, an endurance runner for Werder Bremen, is nearing an unwelcome milestone: the club’s record for the most Bundesliga matches played without scoring a goal.
Despite once again impressing with a solid 12.56 kilometers run in the recent 1-1 draw against Cologne, Lynen remains a crucial asset in the defensive midfield. However, he continues to struggle to find the back of the net in the opponent’s penalty area.

Having played 75 matches without a goal, Lynen has now matched the record set by club legend Klaus Fichtel. Should he fail to score in the upcoming North Derby against HSV, he would claim the dubious distinction of being the sole record-holder.
At Werder, there is little desire to dwell on this situation. Manager Clemens Fritz told ‘Bild’ that focusing too much on such statistics can be counterproductive.
“The more you fixate on these topics, the longer it takes to move past them,” Fritz noted.
