Robert Lewandowski is set to feature against Liverpool on Tuesday

The striker has never played against the Reds or at Anfield in his career but is looking forward to the challenge.In an interview with UEFA.com, Lewandowski said: I know that their fans dont want us or me to score a goal or win, but for me personally, in such an atmosphere Im even more energised at the blow of the whistle for kick-off.That’s what makes it special for me and I’m excited to play in such a stadium. And if you win, it’s even better.The Poland international is wary of the threats last years finalists possess.2

Anfield on a Champions League night is known for its electric atmosphere

But he said Bayern will be ready to pounce on any mistake they make in the tie.Lewandowski added: They have a strong defence, they play steadily and have so many good players.The transition between defence and attack is very short because they play offensively. When youre playing against Liverpool, a team that has so many good players, anything can happen.But for us, if we are ready 100 per cent, anything can happen for us as well. In the round of 16, one mistake can make the difference. At a stage where you only have two games, fear is always in the back of your mind. Both teams have to control what happens in defence.We made mistakes last year and the year before, and I hope that this year we will be ready so we dont make any mistakes and if Liverpool make one, we will be ready to turn that mistake into a goal.
