"I wanted to show my wife is pregnant. The goal was for her and for the baby in her belly," Lewandowski said.

"For me it was a special game, a special goal, so I'm very happy today."

"It's a really special feeling. We were not able to keep it secret for a longer time, so it was the perfect moment to tell it."

"It was always my dream to declare it myself when my wife is pregnant. I'm very, very happy."

Lewandowski has scored 17 goals in all competitions for Bayern this season.
