BAYERN VICTORIOUS AT LAST

After so many trials without success, Bayern Munich finally got the golden crown of the UEFA Champions League yesterday, beating their Leagu rival Borrussia Dortmund. Thanks to the late minute goal by Robben

The Dutchman produced an assist and a
dramatic, late deciding goal as Bayern
defeated German rivals Borussia
Dortmund 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday
night.

And having missed a penalty in last
season's final defeat by Chelsea at
Bayern's own Allianz Arena after also
losing the 2010 final to Inter Milan, the
match-winning contribution was
redemption for Robben.
After an enthralling game, he told Sky
Sports: "There are so many emotions,
especially where we came from last year
and such a disappointment.
"The last four years, Bayern have been in
the final three times. It needed to
happen but you still have to do it."
He added: "It is a special feeling. You
cannot describe it. Everything is going
through your mind. It is hard to say but
you do not want to be a loser."

Bayern could now complete an
unprecedented Treble for a German club
if they win their domestic cup final next
weekend.
And Robben has been understandably
impressed by a season in which they blew
away Italian and Spanish champions
Juventus and Barcelona en route to
conquering Europe.

He said of the campaign: "It is already
going into the history books. But also
because of the way we did it. We beat
Juventus twice 2-0 and then Barcelona
4-0 and 3-0."
