Robert Lewandowski has criticised Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac’s tactics after being eliminated from the Champions League by Liverpool at the last 16 stage.
The Poland international failed to score in either leg, which extends his run of knock-out games in the competition without a goal to seven.
But Lewandowski believes the German giants should have been more positive against Jurgen Klopp’s Reds after drawing the first leg 0-0.
“Of course, we knew it would be a tough game,” Lewandowski told Viasport. “But in both games I think we played too defensive.
“We didn’t try to push forward to create situations – in the first game and today.
“We didn’t risk much, we were playing at home it was our game but that’s why I think Liverpool beat us.
“We were playing too deep, we didn’t take risks, I don’t know why.
“We tried to push Liverpool but offensively sometimes it was two against four players and that’s why we didn’t do much.”
Lewandowski also explained why he found it difficult against Virgil van Dijk, who enjoyed a fine game against the former Borussia Dortmund star.
“I have a lot of duels today, it was very difficult because I was alone,” Lewandowski explained. ”If you are alone against two or three good players it’s very difficult to play.”
