After an encouraging start from the hard-tackling home side, Lewandowski opened the scoring with a penalty in the 37th minute after goalkeeper Rene Adler brought down Thomas Mueller just inside the area.

PSG will be facing a ton of competition to sign the striker though, as the likes of Real Madrid, and Manchester United, are also said to be interested in the player.

Bayern defender David Alaba struck the post with a free kick minutes after what proved Lewandowski’s victor.

Bayern had been unable to create any clear-cut opportunities until the game changed with a 37th-minute penalty.

Bayern looked rusty after the 33-day break. Arjen Robben made a late substitute appearance, while defender Jerome Boateng went off with a groin injury in the 56th.

Despite Klopp’s hopes, snatching Lewandowski would be a massive coup for Liverpool- especially as the Reds are extremely unlikely to be able to offer Champions League football to the 27-year-old.
