‘I know it wasn’t right, but he jumped out of the car and stormed towards me like a bull,’ he told German newspaper Bild.
‘He said to me “what was that, what did you do?”, then struck me on the forehead with the palm of his hand, I flew backwards.’
The striker insisted on his Facebook page that he had not taken forceful action against anybody.
He wrote: ‘I would like to clearly state that I used no force against any persons who invaded my personal space.’

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke backed his man and said: ‘I have spoken with Robert Lewandowski and he explained that the boy showed him the middle finger. Then he got out of the car, put his hand on the boy’s shoulder and asked him why he was doing such a thing.’
Watzke added: ‘Robert swears that he did not touch his face or hit him, I believe Robert 100 per cent.’
