'Put a few more crosses in!' - Lewandowski reveals half-time rallying cry during Bayern's Club World Cup final triumph

Robert Lewandowski has revealed the half-time rallying cry he issued in the dressing room during Bayern Munich's Club World Cup final triumph, as he demanded that his team-mates "put a few more crosses in".

Bayern became only the second team in history to win the sextuple, after Barcelona in 2009, by beating Tigres at the Education City Stadium in Doha on Thursday night - with Benjamin Pavard grabbing the only goal of the game in the 59th minute.

The German champions were not at their scintillating best against the Mexican giants, with Lewandowski calling for more balls into the box during the interval after a frustrating first 45 minutes.
