Owen Hargreaves praises Lewandowski and makes Champions League admission

Owen Hargreaves praised Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski as the 31-year-old became just the third player, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, to score 40 goals in 5 consecutive seasons. Lewandowski opened the score in Bayern's away 2-0 win over Union Berlin on Sunday as Bundesliga returned from suspension due to coronavirus pandemic. "I think his form – even for Lewandowski – has been outstanding this season. Probably the best Lewandowski we’ve ever seen in a Bayern Munich shirt,’ Hargreaves told BT Sport. "He’s the best No. 9 [in the world] right now, without a question. He virtually never misses a game. "I think the thing about him is his game seems to evolve. He’s added free-kicks in the past few years, he’s the ultimate team player, he’s not selfish. "I think he has a great partnership with Thomas Muller as well. If you’re adding Coman on one side and Gnabry on the other side as well – all of a sudden there’s so much firepower. "Coutinho, he didn’t play today – he’s out injured, but the firepower Bayern Munich have is quite remarkable. "But he’s by far and away the best player in Bayern Munich’s side and I think with him in that form they can find a way to win the Champions League again after all those years." source - Metro.co.uk
