Cristiano Ronaldo has scored nine goals in the last six matches against Bayern Munich, including five times in last year’s two-leg quarter-final tie.

However, Robert Lewandowski professed in an interview with FC Bayern TV that Real Madrid are not just a one-man team.

“We know Ronaldo has already scored quite a few goals against Bayern. I hope he won’t add to it this year.

“But the main thing is the whole team’s performance, not only Cristiano Ronaldo’s. We know their other players are really good and able to score too. We have to watch every player.

“But if we stick to our game and live up to our full potential, Real Madrid might have problems too. It’s the Champions League, you have to watch every little detail and try to play as best you can.”

The 29-year-old stated that Bayern are not motivated by revenge despite getting knocked out in cruel fashion in last year’s quarter-final 6-3 in extra time amid much controversy.

“It’s another season altogether, another year,” he added. “What happened last year is history. We know every match is different, just as every season is different. When we take on Real Madrid now it’ll be completely different from last year. What happened last year isn’t on our minds.

“Sure, two matches against Real Madrid, semi-finals, big matches, but we’re in a different position compared to last year. We know we can make it against Real Madrid too, even if they’re top opponents. It’ll be a tough match. I hope it’ll be an interesting match too and that at the end of the day we’ll be happier than them.”

Real Madrid have won three of the last four Champions League finals. Winners of the tie will face Roma or Liverpool in the Kiev final on May 26.
