Arjen Robben Goal Lifts Bayern Munich Past Borussia Dortmund In Champions League Final (VIDEO)

Playing in the Champions League final for the third time in four years, Arjen Robben was not just facing Borussia Dortmund. He was also facing his own previous failures, looking for redemption as much as victory. He got both at Wembley Stadium. Thanks to the Dutch attacker’s game-winning goal, Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in a scintillating final.

With Dortmund starting energetically at the offensive end and Roman Weidenfeller denying Robben in the scoreless first half, the 2013 Champions League final looked as if it would be remembered as another dark night in the 29-year-old’s illustrious career.

It won’t be.

AP PHOTOS: Bayern beats Dortmund 2-1 in final

Bayern Munich defeated German rival Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the Champions League final Saturday night, ending four years of frustration for Bayern in Europe's biggest soccer tournament. Arjen Robben ran onto Franck Ribery's backheeled flick in the penalty area and put the ball past goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller in the 89th minute to send Bayern to its first Champions League victory since 2001. Bayern had lost two of the last three finals, including a penalty-kicks defeat to Chelsea last year in Munich. Bayern entered as the favorite, although that message didn't seem to have filtered through to Juergen Klopp's Dortmund team, which seemed intent on dictating play from the start. It largely succeeded for the first 25 minutes as well, although it was Bayern that ended up with the best chances of the first half.
