Celtic will face Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week.

Celtic defender Mikael Lustig has spoken highly of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, as quoted by The Scottish Sun.

Poland international Lewandowski is one of the best and most consistent strikers in the world.

The 29-year-old is world class, and has scored nine goals in eight Bundesliga appearances for Bayern so far this season, according to WhoScored.

During the 2016-17 campaign, the striker scored 30 goals and provided five assists in 31 league starts, according to WhoScored.

Lewandowski will line up for Bayern in their Champions League Group B game at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.

Ahead of the match, Celtic right-back Lustig, 30, has praised the Bayern star.

“Lewandowski’s goal record is ridiculous,” Lustig told The Scottish Sun. “He’s possibly the best there is.”

Celtic are in good form at the moment and got the better of Anderlecht in Belgium in their last Champions League game.

However, it is hard to see beyond a win for Bayern, who won handsomely in the Bundesliga this weekend.

Brendan Rodgers’s side, though, should be aiming to at least given Bayern a run for their money in Munich.
