Sorry if this fixtures but it made me smile this morning...
RAGING Poland star Robert Lewandowski insists he will be gunning for revenge on Gordon Greer when his side face Scotland again next October.
The Polish skipper was outraged at the Brighton defender’s challenge on him in Tuesday night’s Euro 2016 qualifying clash in Warsaw which finished in a 2-2 draw.
Bayern Munich hitman Lewandowski claimed Greer’s tackle had smashed his shinpad but Scots boss Gordon Strachan played down the incident.
However, the 26-year-old reckons he will be on a revenge mission in what is certain to be a crucial clash in the battle to get to France when the two sides meet again in the second last game of Group D at Hampden next year.
Lewandowski said: “His studs were at the height of my knee. I don’t know what it looked like from the side but the referee didn’t see it unfortunately.
“He told me he didn’t get a clear view of it but the assistant referee did have a good view.
“I really don’t like to think what would have happened if I hadn’t had shinpads on.
“There is no point complaining to the Scotsman who did it now – it won’t change anything.
“But I hope in the match in their country I will repay him for it.”
And Lewandowski reckoned he was only able to carry on after receiving intensive treatment.
He said: “I didn’t want to go off – I wanted to help the team but it was very hard running about because my leg didn’t feel very comfortable.
“I put my leg in an ice pack during the interval and that helped a little.
“There wasn’t great joy in the dressing room after the match because we didn’t beat Scotland.
“We lead the group now but there is a long way to go and we knew this group wouldn’t be easy.”
