Bayern munich on saturday night beat Borussia dortmund 2-1 to lift the Champions league.
With minutes left to play and the biggest game in club football once again in his hands, Arjen Robben made sure he didn't miss this time.
Robben found redemption at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, scoring the winner in the 89th minute of the Champions League final to give Bayern a 2-1 victory over German rival Borussia Dortmund — ending four years of frustration for his team in Europe's biggest tournament and erasing some of the painful memories of his penalty miss in last year's final.
This was a win that was long in the making for both Robben and Bayern, not only because of the stubborn challenge from a Dortmund side that refused to accept its status as underdog in the club's biggest game in 16 years. Bayern had lost two of the last three Champions League finals, including the gut-wrenching defeat in a penalty shootout to Chelsea last year in its own stadium in Munich.
For Dortmund, it's another bitter runner-up finish to its main rival, having seen Bayern end its two-year hold on the Bundesliga title.
"We are very proud to have given them a good contest," Weidenfeller said. "But we didn't manage to win. We gave our best. We'll be back next season."
