Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski believes that Liverpool will be a tough team in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Poland international hailed the Premier League leaders and mentioned that Bayern Munich will have to be on top of their game to emerge victorious.

“I think we played very well in the groups,” Lewandowski said at an Audi event, according to Goal.

“Of course, now we have very difficult opponents in Liverpool.

“At this moment they are top in the Premier League, we still have a few weeks, and I think what will be very important is how we feel one week before the game.

“If we are ready, we are fit, then we are fighting and I hope we get through to the next round and of course this is our dream to beat Liverpool.

“We know it will be very difficult and from the first minute to the 90th we have to be 100 per cent focused.”
