The coach does not think his team had earned anything from the clash with the Bavarians, although Mats Hummels thinks the opposite
Borussia Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp felt Bayern Munich deserved their 1-0 victory over his side on Saturday.
Lewandowski nodded in a rebound after Thomas Muller's shot was saved by Roman Weidenfeller and, despite enjoying the majority of possession after the interval, Dortmund failed to force an equaliser.
"The first 10 minutes were completely fine," Klopp told Sky. "After that it was not so good, we had too few chances.
"Bayern sat deep and played very physically robust, we could not get our way. In the last third we lacked punch.
"The second half was okay because we had our opportunities but, overall, it was not enough against Bayern. We lacked focus.
"In many small moments Bayern were better, so they deserved to win."
Mats Hummels rued Marco Reus' miss on the hour, when the forward fired wide with just Manuel Neuer to beat, while the goalkeeper also produced a superb save two minutes from time to keep out the Germany attacker's set piece.
"The effectiveness has made all the difference," Hummels said. "Bayern were not the better team, I can only remember two chances. We had not much more, but a bit more.
"It is unfortunate we've lost. Unfortunately you do not get 15 chances against Bayern.
"We had a huge opportunity when Marco ran alone on Neuer. And with the free kick save at the end, Neuer showed he's world class."
