ARJEN ROBBEN

Bayern Munich midfielder Arjen Robben has said that the club are extremely desperate to win more titles this season. Bayern Munich finished in the runners-up position in the three major competitions they took part in last season, which was one of the worst in history of the club. They not only managed to finish second to archrivals Borussia Dortmund in the league, but also in the DFB Polkal cup as well. As a result, they came into the final of the UEFA Champions League knowing that they need to win in order to prevent themselves from going into the history as one of the most unlikely teams.

However, they lost the final of the match 4-3 on penalties after having drawn the match 1-1 to Chelsea. This was the second time Bayern Munich have finished as the runners up in the Champions League in the last three seasons. Arjen Robben was also part of the team that lost in the 2010 final. Now, the Dutch winger has said that he wants to banish the memory of last season by going for all the titles this season. Even though Bayern Munich have not made any major signings, Robben is confident that they can achieve success this season.

“We have a season behind us in which we were close to all titles, but in the end we did not win anything. The hunger for titles is even greater now. I already feel a lot of desire in the team, even if we are missing several key players who are still on holiday after Euro 2012. You must never lose. We must always win. Before half-time we gave them a goal to make it 1-1 too easily. That is the sort of thing that cost us points in the Bundesliga,” said Arjen Robben.
