With minutes left to play and the biggest game in club football once again in his hands, Arjen Robben made sure he didn’t miss this time.

Robben found redemption at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, scoring the winner in the 89th minute of the Champions League final to give Bayern a 2-1 victory over German rival Borussia Dortmund, ending four years of frustration for his team in Europe’s biggest tournament and erasing some of the painful memories of his penalty miss in last year’s final. - Photos and text by Agencies
