Bayern Munich ace Robert Lewandowski serves up praise for Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich

Whites midfielder Klich played 64 minutes from the start of Wednesday night's clash in Wroclaw and supplied a beautiful floated cross for striker Lewandowski to neatly volley home his second goal of the game.

United's Polish international midfielder had earlier provided the through ball to send Lewandowski clear in the 14th minute with Bosnia's Anel Ahmedhodzic shown a straight-red card for bringing down the striker as part of a professional foul.

Torino's Karol Linetty also netted for the Poles and Lewandowski singled out Linetty and Klich for special praise when asked to asses the contribution of his team mates by TVP Sport.

"Karol played a great match and Mateusz also shows that he is in shape," said the Polish striker, who also hit the post.

"In addition, young wolves, it is such a breath of fresh air for the benefit of the representation.

"With each subsequent meeting, they will help us, there will be more choice."

In netting a brace, Lewandowski took his Poland tally to 61 goals from just 112 appearances.

The 32-year-old also leads the line for the champions of Europe in Bayern Munich for whom he has netted 251 goals in just 294 appearances.

Lewandowski even set up Linetty's strike against Bosnia but the forward laughed at suggestions he was currently the best player in the world.

"I'm focused on the next game on the pitch and what I need to do," he smiled, speaking to UEFA.com

"I know that the expectation on me is very high but sometimes you have to do something and I knew that if I played well and we played very offensive we could score a lot of goals.

"We also had a lot of chances to score more goals but I think three is enough and we can look forward."
