"I hope we show our strong side in the first leg in Madrid and take a good result back to Munich," the Polish striker added.

"They have some wonderful players and I think it will be an attractive match."

As for his current season, seen by many as not one of the best, the Polish goal machine said, "It has been a very decent season. I hope to score a few more important goals and I hope to win some trophies, but I'm happy to be scoring so many."
