'Real Madrid are favourites, but that doesn't mean they'll win'

'Los Blancos' have won the last five meetings between the two sides, giving them every reason to be confident going into the game.

Given that Real Madrid are the current holders of the competition, Lewandowski says it is only natural that they be favourites to progress to the final, but he also says that the "favourites" tag guarantees nothing.

"When you have won the Champions League two times in a row, it is clear that you are favourites, but that does not mean they are going to beat us," he explained.

The powerful Pole, who has been linked with a summer move to the Bernabeu, pointed to his side's recent form as proof that the Germans are capable of getting a result.

"Our last matches have shown that we are in good shape and now we have to think about Real Madrid," he added.

"We have to be completely concentrated and if Real Madrid make mistakes then we must take advantage of their problems."

Finally, with Cristiano Ronaldo in fine goalscoring form, Lewandowski expressed his hope that the Portuguese be kept quiet, but also stressed Madrid's all-round threat.

"We hope he does not score this year, but Real Madrid is not only Ronaldo," he concluded.
