Little wonder he has had many doubters.u00a0Not any more though after he latched on to Franck Ribery’s back-heel to score the goal that broke Borussia Dortmund hearts and confirmed Bayern as European champions for a fifth time.
“You don’t want the stamp of a loser,” said Robben.u00a0“There was all the disappointment of last year but I personally also had the World Cup. That was three finals.
“It wasn’t so much pressure. I tried to make it into positive energy. I couldn’t start thinking negatively, otherwise it would be too difficult. u00a0“Tonight I scored the goal. We did it and we can forget about the other things.”u00a0
