Arjen Robben Finally
Redeemed
The Dutch international winger finally broke through the
spell and was able to achieve the glorious victory. Robben along with Bayern
Munich teammates had a spectacular season and defeated Borussia Dortmund in the
first all-German clash European final. They crushed Barcelona in the semis;
they just were an unstoppable machine on the road to Wembley.
After some disappointments; the sweet taste of victory had
to come in for Arjen Robben. In this business, almost doesn’t cut it, no one
remembers the semi-finalists, and fans only talk about the team that lifts
trophies on finals. Victory came in knocking on the doors of the man whose
Netherlands national team had lost to Spain in a World Cup final in 2010, and
whose club team Bayern Munich lost the Champions League final at their home
field in front of their fans last year, and lost on the final against Inter in
2010 as well. Yes, it has been tough for Arjen and company to arrive to finals
territory and not have a nice piece of silverware to show for.
The Champions League final is an exciting game and it can go
either way because no team is small at this point. Borussia Dortmund got to the
final by leaving behind the Spanish giant Real Madrid on the semifinals. So the
clash between this two Bundesliga teams was bound to be a spectacular game. But
for Robben in particular was a chance to finally put behind those bitter years
of defeat and to redeem for the sweetness of glory.
Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the deserving champion. They
have had a fantastic season. They have won their league by 25 points above their
rivals, they arrived to the Champions League final like an unstoppable engine
with enough horsepower to keep that ball rolling and making their opponents
tired. Great team are the two
words that define Bayer Munich and great footballer are the two words the
define Arjen Robben.
