Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski reckons Liverpool can win the Premier League title this season under “father figure” Jurgen Klopp.
Lewandowski enjoyed success under Klopp during their time together at Borussia Dortmund, where they won two Bundesliga titles and a German Cup.
The Poland international thinks the Reds have a “real chance” of winning the league this season but admits another former boss of his, Pep Guardiola, won’t make it easy.
“Under Klopp I think they (Liverpool) will be fighting for the title this season,” said Lewandowski.
“Pep and Manchester City will not make it easy for anybody to win the title, but Liverpool have a real chance.

“Without European football it can really help them with being fresh for games and with injuries and, even though Klopp is always smiling, he is ruthless enough to take advantage of that.”
Lewandowski has noticed that Liverpool’s players are already demonstrating some of the characteristics that Dortmund showed in their successful spell under the German.
“I have watched some Liverpool games since the arrival of Klopp, and you can see that the players are enjoying playing for him,” he continued.
“As a player you know that he totally has your back, he is like a father figure and, because you have that trust in him as a player, it makes you totally open to his methods and his ideas which, in the long term, you always see are for the benefit of your game and for the team.”
