Ahead of the Champions League clash against Arsenal, the Bayern striker is unhappy with comparison with the World Best Players.
Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski has called for comparisons with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to stop, insisting they are different players.
The 27-year old has been in the stunning form at the start of the new campaign, scoring a 12 goals in just eight Bundesliga matches, and 15 in his last seven in all competitions.
Speaking to Goal, the striker is adamant they all play in different positions and that he is only focusing on making the most of the best moment in his career.
“They are different players, in different positions. Cristiano plays offensively on the left side, Messi centrally. I play up front. Of course I work back, take part in combinations and don’t wait 90 minutes for the ball. I want to participate in the game.
“Often I am searching for space for 80 minutes. In the 81st the situation comes: I have space and can score the goal. Or I distract two defenders and create space for my colleagues. This is football, this is a team sport. We work together well, so it is easy for me.
“I am 27 and I want to be better every year, score more goals. My best time comes now. Hopefully it will carry on as long as possible! To be a striker, sometimes it is not easy. To reach the crucial situations, I have to fight in every game.
“My colleagues also take an important role. You are running, see the chance, but you do not get the ball. But you have to stay positive and concentrate fully.”
