The prolific Polish striker reveals his scoring secrets, his high regard for Guardiola and Klopp and how he almost joined Manchester United
Robert Lewandowski smiles as he looks at the iPad. “I’m very proud of this game,” he says, focusing intently on the screen. The Bayern Munich striker is being shown highlights from one of his greatest performances, the night he scored four goals for Borussia Dortmund in a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, and Lewandowski does not need much prompting to explain his finishing masterclass.
It was 24 April 2013 and a wonderful Dortmund side were flying under Jürgen Klopp. Lewandowski has not forgotten the details from that first leg at Westfalenstadion. “If you score four goals against Real in a semi-final, it is something special,” he says. “You never forget. The best goal? The third – this one.”
