At least when it comes to statistics Lewandowski is the most effective striker of the 2018/2019 season having scored eight goals in six games.

Now it is on him to hurt his former promoter.

It might be a surprise. Despite his success, Lewandowski is causing a widespread discussion about his value for the Bavarians. More than ever the Pole has to convince his critics when meeting his former mentor.

Some say, he yet hasn't been the man scoring for Bayern in crucial games.

Since the attacker has been around, Bayern was eliminated once in the quarterfinals (Real Madrid) and four times in the semifinals (facing Real two times, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid).

Former Liverpool and Bayern Munich professional Dietmar Hamann mentioned Bayern's dependency on Lewandowski as the side has to entirely dedicate its tactical approach to their forwards skills by mostly playing over the wings and deliver passes to the box.

TV pundit Hamann recommended selling Lewandowski in the next summer break adding "he is not the man he used to be." Bayern's response didn't take long.

Head of board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge called Lewandowski "the best nine in the world" adding "we are pleased to have him around."

Former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said Hamann's attacks might be an additional motivation for Lewandowski in two tight games. It seems apparent that the challenge couldn't be more significant for the Pole as Bayern so far couldn't score a goal in the last three games at Anfield Road.
