The Bayern Munich winger has expressed his desire to win this season’s UEFA Champions League after finishing runners-up in this year’s Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521, has revealed his desire to win this year’s Champions League by defeating his former employers Chelsea in the final. He was talking after his side finished eight points behind Borussia Dortmund
in the Bundesliga with 73 points from 34 outings.
The Dutchman mentioned that it is every player’s dream to lift the Champions League trophy and he will definitely swap it with the German Cup if such situation arises. However, the winger admitted that his side are training extremely
hard in order to attain much deserved silverware and all their focus is currently lying on the game against Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal final.
Robben denied reports saying that the Munich giants are not focussed towards the German Cup final and instead all their focus is on winning the Champions League. He admitted that the European crown will definitely be the biggest
in each of his teammate’s life but told that Bayern’s first priority is winning the German Cup as it also holds massive importance in his side’s defining season.
While speaking to local sports publication, Kicker, the former Real Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 star further added:
“Am I focused on the Champions League final? No. That game is the biggest target, but first we have the [DFB-Pokal] final against Dortmund. And in that, we'll give everything. But, to be honest, the Champions League title is the
biggest goal for our team, for me, for the club, for everyone. If someone were to offer that we win the Champions League, but not the Pokal final, I'd take it immediately.”
On the other hand, Robben ended his interview on a lighter note by claiming to end his career if he were to win this year’s Champions League with Bayern and Euro 2012 with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753. “Two years ago, I promised my wife and
mother that if I were to win the Champions League and Euro 2012, I would stop playing football,” the 2010 FIFA World Cup finalist concluded.
Robben scored 12 goals for the Munich giants this season from 24 league outings after spending most of the first-half of this campaign on the sidelines due to injury.
