Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has insisted that he 'is not scared' of playing with a mask in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at Barcelona.

The Polish international, who is in the Bayern XI for the clash at Camp Nou, is suffering from a broken nose but will play with protection in Spain.

"I'm not scared in the slightest," Lewandowski told Bayern's official website.

The 26-year-old, who joined Bayern from Borussia Dortmund last summer, has scored 23 times for his club this season, including five in the Champions League.
