Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben slotted in an 89th minute winner as they
defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at Wembley stadium on Saturday to be
crowned European champions for the fifth time.
Dutchman Robben raced into the area and beat goalkeeper Roman
Weidenfeller in a stunning finale to the first all-German Champions
League final.
Bayern, on the backfoot for much of the first half, struck on the hour
with Robben cutting the ball back for Mario Mandzukic to poke home from
close range.
The German champions' joy was short-lived though as Dortmund levelled
eight minutes later with Ilkay Guendogan's well-struck penalty awarded
for a clumsy Dante challenge on Marco Reus.
Dortmund looked to be holding on for extra time before Robben broke free
to score the winner and send the Bayern fans into raptures.
