Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski has played down his four-goal heroics during the 4-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The Poland international became the first striker in history to put four past the Spanish giants in the competition, but was quick to deflect individual plaudits.

"We have taken only the first step, but of course we are happy," Sky Sports News quotes Lewandowski as saying. "I am pleased with the four goals, but now we want to reach the final."

Cristiano Ronaldo netted a consolation for Real, giving them an away goal to take into the semi-final second leg in Madrid.
