Bayern claims Champions League title
Soccer: Arjen Robben scored in the 89th minute to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 win over German rival Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final Saturday at London, ending four years of frustration for his team in Europe’s biggest tournament.
Robben ran onto Franck Ribery’s back-heeled flick in the penalty area and put the ball past goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller to send Bayern to its first Champions League victory since 2001. The German team had lost two of the last three finals, including on penalty kicks to Chelsea last year in its own stadium in Munich.
Mario Mandzukic put Bayern ahead in the 60th minute before Ilkay Gundogan evened the score on a penalty kick 8 minutes later after defender Dante fouled Marco Reus.
