Thomas Muller has paid tribute to the "amazing form" of Bayern Munich teammate Robert Lewandowski after the Pole hit a hat-trick in the German side's 5-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.

Lewandowski entered the match off the back of scoring seven times in his last two games and made it 10 in three matches with a treble against the Croatian side in the Champions League.

Muller has said that the striker's form is "very good for the team" during an important period of the season.

"He seems to have taken over my fine form. If he goes on like this it's very good for the team," Muller told reporters. "We only have to make sure that we keep getting him in dangerous positions and that we get the ball to him.

"We also have to keep playing as a team and act united, but it is clear that Robert is in amazing form."

Lewandowski has netted 14 goals in eight games this season.
