Roberto Lewandowskis agent is in a sexism storm

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI’S agent is at the centre of a sexism scandal after telling a female reporter to “learn how to cook”.

Maik Barthel took aim at SZ Sport’s Sakia Aleythe in the wake of Bayern Munich’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Lewandowski came under fire for a poor performance as Carlo Ancelotti was sacked the following day.

And Barthel was not happy with the coverage of his client by Aleythe.

He tweeted: “Who at SZ Sport has left too much to allow biathlon experts to write about football?”

Aleyhe replied to the tweet saying: “And now?”

Which prompted Barthel to write back: “Learn to cook?”

The agent later posted a picture of a frying pan cooking vegetables over a job to illustrate his point.

Despite his bad showing against PSG, Lewandowski has still been in typically clinical form this season.

The Poland international has scored seven goals in six Bundesliga games.

And he will be hoping to keep his fine run going under new interim boss Willy Sagnol.
