Robert Lewandowski didn’t have a sniff last night.
The Polish forward was pocketed in the first-leg by Joel Matip and Fabinho – and got the same treatment from Virgil van Dijk at the Allianz!
Lewa, who used to play for Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, of course – was quick to blame his manager Niko Kovac after Bayern’s 3-1 defeat.

According to the striker, the tactics were far too negative, which resulted in Bayern having just two shots on target over two legs.
“In both games we played too defensive,” he said, reported in the Echo.
“We didn’t try to push forward to create situations – in the first game and tonight.
“We were playing too deep, we didn’t take risks to try to score the goals, I don’t know why.
“We didn’t try to play offensive and we didn’t have a lot of chances. That was our problem and that’s why Liverpool beat us.
“We tried to push Liverpool but offensively sometimes it was two against four players and that’s why we didn’t do much.
“I had a lot of duels but it was very difficult because I was alone. If you are alone against two or three good players then it’s very difficult.
“I am not happy, I am angry because we should have done better.”
Lewa has a point, to be fair – but he’s wrong not to acknowledge how superb his opponents were – especially in the second-half last night.
Bayern went in at half-time 1-1, but with 45 minutes to score one goal, at their own ground – they barely got a kick.
Our defence was sublime and our offence clinical.
Now, we need to follow up the win with three points at Craven Cottage. Fulham are not a good side, and we need to show a ruthless streak in front of goal to put them to the sword.
