TEAM NEWS: Lewandowski benched as Bayern visits Benfica

The big striker is on the bench with Costa, Muller and Ribery making up Bayern's attack.

Bayern Munich has left Robert Lewandowski on the bench for the second leg of the club's Champions League quarterfinal against Benfica.

The German champion is looking to protect a one goal lead from last week's meeting at the Allianz Arena when the side lines up in the Estadio da Luz for Wednesday's clash.

Pep Guardiola has made some key changes for the match in Portugal, with Javi Martinez returning to the starting XI in place of Juan Bernat, allowing David Alaba to return to the left back position.
