The legendary Bayern Munich defender has criticised http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 for missing his spot kick that left the Reds pointless after the game.
Franz Beckenbauer has expressed his displeasure after Bayern Munich slipped in a crucial encounter against Borussia Dortmund. Both sides locked heads on Wednesday, April 11, at the Signal Iduna Park with the Borussians wining 1-0.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 earned a solitary goal in the 77th minute whereas Robben squandered a golden opportunity and missed a penalty in the dying moments.
Bayern got themselves a glorious opportunity to equalise when Robben was tripped inside the box by Dortmund goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Weidenfeller-c31655 in the 83rd minute. The Dutchman stepped up himself to take the spot kick but
unfortunately had no power in his shot which was comfortably saved by the Dortmund glovesman.
Beckenbauer mentioned that Robben should not have been allowed to take the kick in the presence of Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez. He criticised the way Robben launched his shoot and held him responsible for his team’s loss. He
confirmed that Bayern are more or less out of the title race after this defeat.
While addressing Sky, the 66-year-old further added: "Robben would never have taken that penalty if I were the coach. There's an unwritten law in football that says the one who got fouled shouldn't take the penalty. Maybe this
rule was changed, or it hasn't reached http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 yet."
Bayern needed to win in order to level things up with the Borussians on the points table. However, this loss has opened a six-point gap between the two sides which and with four games remaining in the competition, the Munich giants
would ideally want the Black Yellows to lose two of their remaining four fixtures.
The Bavarian giants have now shifted their focus on another important assignment against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Jupp Heynckes’ side have a date set with Los Blancos in the semi-final of the European competition
with the first-leg set to be played at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, April 17.
Heynckes’ men are already through to the final of the German Cup where they will once again take on their fiercest title rivals in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Berlin-c7536 on May 12.
