Bayern Munich loan signing Philippe Coutinho has praised the quality of Robert Lewandowski and said that the striker looks better during the game than on television. The Poland international has made a flourishing start to the new league campaign with the German champions and he contributed a treble during the 3-0 triumph over Schalke 04.

That has meant that he has bagged five goals from the opening two games of the season and Coutinho, who made his Bayern debut as a second half substitute, said that the marksman is just world-class on the field of play, he told: “He’s incredible, just world-class. It’s incredible, the way he trains. I’ve been here a week and watching him up close he’s so much better than you think on TV. He had a great game today, a great hat-trick and he deserves it.”
