Borussia Dortmund’s striker Robert Lewandowski will be suspended for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid. This is a major blow for the German club since the Polish international scored all four goals against the Spanish outfit when the two sides met each other in the Champions League knockout stages last season. Dortmund managed to qualify for the final 4-1 on aggregate after beating the Spanish club. Lewandowski totally overshadowed his opponents like Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He will not have a chance to show his quality against the Spanish club in the first leg since he is suspended after receiving your booking in Dortmund’s 2-1 defeat against Zenit St Petersburg. Despite this defeat, Dortmund managed to qualify for the quarter-finals after barely hanging on to the 4-2 win in the first leg. Lewandowski was given a yellow card during the match, which will see him miss the first leg. The 25-year-old, who recently announced his decision to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer in the summer, says that it is extremely disappointing to miss out on such a big match.

Lewandowski has said that the suspension has made him realise the importance of the second leg and he is highly motivated for it.

“I have driven myself crazy over the annoying yellow card and hope that we leave Madrid with a good result. Then I’d be even more motivated for the return leg – I have had a good experience against Real. I believe that we can still go through, even if Real are the favourites and are in top form. We can once more annoy Bayern,” said the striker, who has promised 100% commitment to Dortmund until he leaves the club. He has signed a mega contract worth around £ 75 million over the next five years with Bayern Munich.
