Atletico Madrid vs. Bayern Munich: Lewandowski fired up to face Champions League's best defense

The Champions League's best attack and defense meet when Atletico Madrid hosts Bayern Munich, and Robert Lewandowski is relishing the clash.

Robert Lewandowski is eager to put Atletico Madrid's formidable defensive record to the test when Bayern Munich visits in the Champions League semifinal first leg.

Diego Simeone's side defeated defending champion Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate to reach the last four after a disciplined 2-0 win at the Vicente Calderon in the second leg, with Barca failing to score in a Champions League game for the first time since a 1-0 loss to Atleti in April 2014.
