Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is full of praise for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

The pair worked together at Borussia Dortmund.

"I joined Dortmund as a young player and initially it wasn't easy," Lewandowski told Prawda Futbolu.

"Obviously Jurgen wasn't my dad, but in different ways he sort of adopted that role. He was one of the main factors behind my development and he opened the door to the big wide world of football for me.

"He's got charisma and knows how to create the right atmosphere in a team. On top of that, he's able to find the right balance between fun and more serious criticism. He's a coach you'd run through fire for."
